Esperança
Os Arrais
Hope
What a wretched man I am, what I have become
Begging for the bread that used to be abundant and mine
In disappointment, hope arises
And I live in the present regardless of the past
For everything has changed
And in Christ I am more than I am
I leave behind the man I was
And the houses I built far from You
If everything has changed, I raise the sails of the ship
Hoping that in the morning
I will see the port where I will find You
Like a refugee leaving his country
Fleeing through the night unable to sleep
Trusting in the promise that sorrow takes the night
But soon comes the day, and shouts of joy will resound!
If the rain catches me and the boat overturns
May I wake up on solid ground there
