Um Certo Galileu

A certain Galilean
A certain day by the sea
A young Galilean appeared
No one could imagine
That someone could love
The way he loved
His simple way of talking
Touched the heart
Of those who listened

And his name was Jesus of Nazareth
His fame spread and everyone came to see
The phenomenon of the young preacher
Who had so much love
On those beaches, in that sea
On that river, at Zacchaeus' house
On that road, in that sun
And the people listening
To such beautiful stories
His friendly way of expressing himself
Filled the heart
With such infinite peace
And his name was Jesus of Nazareth
His fame spread and everyone came to see
The phenomenon of the young preacher
Who had so much love

In the middle of the street, on that ground
At that well and at Simon's house
On that grass, at dusk
The world saw the birth
Of the peace of hope
His pure way of forgiving
Made the heart
Become a child again
And his name was Jesus of Nazareth
His fame spread and everyone came to see
The phenomenon of the young preacher
Who had so much love

A certain day at the court
Someone took the young Galilean
No one knew what was wrong
And the crime he committed
What were his sins
His honest way of denouncing
