The road was straight and narrow The road was straight and narrow O caminho era estreito e apertado Leading to my father's house Leading to my father's house Levando a casa de meu pai The gates were open wide The gates were open wide Os portões estavam abertos Awaiting my return Awaiting my return Aguardando o meu retorno Near them stood my father Near them stood my father Perto deles estava meu pai With his arms stretched out to me With his arms stretched out to me Com seus braços estendidos para mim With tears on his face With tears on his face Com lágrimas em seu rosto I heard him say I heard him say Eu o ouvi dizer Welcome home Welcome home Bem-vindo ao lar I've missed you so much I've missed you so much Senti tanto sua falta My heart has been broken My heart has been broken Meu coração esteve quebrado Since the day you went away Since the day you went away Desde o dia em que você foi embora Welcome home Welcome home Bem-vindo ao lar I'll prepare a celebration I'll prepare a celebration Eu vou preparar uma festa Come take your place beside me Come take your place beside me Venha tomar o seu lugar ao meu lado You've been gone so long You've been gone so long Você esteve fora por tanto tempo Welcome home Welcome home Bem-vindo ao lar His hand was on my shoulders His hand was on my shoulders Sua mão estava sobre os meus ombros As we walked up to the house As we walked up to the house Enquanto caminhávamos para casa Mom peeped out the front door Mom peeped out the front door Mamãe espiava pela porta da frente And then came running out And then came running out E então saiu correndo She threw her arms around me She threw her arms around me Ela jogou seus braços ao meu redor And sqeezed me like only Mom can And sqeezed me like only Mom can E apertou-me como só a mãe pode And then kissed me on my cheek And then kissed me on my cheek E então me deu um beijo na buchecha And with my face held in her hands And with my face held in her hands E com o meu rosto em suas mãos She said welcome home She said welcome home Ela disse bem-vindo ao lar How I longed for this moment How I longed for this moment Como eu esperei por este momento I've prayed for you each night I've prayed for you each night Tenho orado por você a cada noite Since the day you went away Since the day you went away Desde o dia em que você foi embora Welcome home Welcome home Bem-vindo ao lar I'll prepare a place for you I'll prepare a place for you Eu vou preparar um lugar para você My prayers have been answered My prayers have been answered Minhas orações foram respondidas Thank you Jesus Thank you Jesus Thank you Jesus Thank you Jesus Obrigada Jesus, obrigada Jesus Welcome home Welcome home Bem-vindo ao lar Oh how good it felt to be Oh how good it felt to be Oh como é bom sentir isto In my father's house In my father's house Na casa de meu pai After all the pain and heartache After all the pain and heartache Depois de toda dor e sofrimento I had put him through I had put him through Que eu o havia causado And to know that I'm forgiven And to know that I'm forgiven E saber que fui perdoado And my past has been forgotten And my past has been forgotten E o meu passado foi esquecido And to hear my family say And to hear my family say E ouvir minha família dizer We still love you We still love you Nós ainda te amamos Oh welcome home Oh welcome home Oh, bem-vindo ao lar Oh how sweet the sound Oh how sweet the sound Oh, como é doce o som Those simple words we love you Those simple words we love you Essas simples palavras "nós te amamos" Still echo in my heart Still echo in my heart Ainda ecoam em meu coração Welcome home Welcome home Bem-vindo ao lar No more will I take this place No more will I take this place Nunca mais eu irei For granted For granted permitir isto acontecer It's so good to be loved and wanted It's so good to be loved and wanted É tão bom ser amado e desejado After you've done wrong After you've done wrong Depois de ter errado And still be welcomed home And still be welcomed home e ainda ser bem-vindo ao lar Welcome home Welcome home Bem-vindo ao lar
