WYD flash mob lyrics - Catholic Answers Forums

WYD flash mob lyrics - Catholic Answers Forums

From a poster on the forum:
I am from Rio, living in the US. I just watched the video of the Bishops rehearsing the Flash Mob to greet Francis, and here are the lyrics in Portuguese and English:

Seja bem vindo, bem vindo entre nós
Que coisa boa ouvir tua voz
É uma alegria poder te encontrar

Falo por mim e por nossos irmãos
Falo do fundo do meu coração
O seu sorriso é tudo de bom!

Refrain:
Vem, abra os braços como o Redentor
Tua benção Francisco nos tráz
Mais um raio de luz, esperança, de amor e de paz
De amor e de paz!

In English (with comments in red to explain the full sense of the word in portuguese):

Be welcome, welcome amongst us!
How great it is to listen to your voice!
It is a joy to be able to meet you! (more than meet, encounter)

I speak for myself, an for (in behalf of) our brethen.
I speak from the depths of my heart (Brazilian are very intense!)
Your smile is "everything'' (the idiomatic expression "tudo de bom" can also be translated as cool, great)

refrain:
Come, open your arms like the "Redeemer"(reference to the Rio statue)
Your blessing Francis is bringing us
One more ray of Light, Hope, Love and Peace
of Love and Peace!
