Here’s a lovely setting of an original text by Brazilian poet Jorge de Lima. Jean Berger’s “Alleluia” from the Brazilian Psalm.
Translation: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! O Lord, Cymbals and the sounding harp I do not have. But I’ll make a fair procession for you, O blessed Lord, I will make a fair procession for you, O blessed Lord. We have no cymbals for your praise, no harps to praise you, But I’ll praise you with waving of palms, I will praise you with waving of palms. Accept them, I implore you. I will dance and sing your praises! Cymbals and the sounding harp I do not have. But I’ll make a fair procession for you, O blessed Lord, I will make a fair procession for you, O blessed Lord. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, O Lord!
Peace. C.
