Music can be a powerful tool in learning the Portuguese language. And what’s more, its fun too. It’s entertaining, relaxing, and “food to the soul”. So let’s sit back, relax and fatten our souls, all the while advancing our skills and understanding of the Portuguese language.<\/p>\n

Here I’ll introduce you to, and feed you with, my resources for learning Portuguese through music.<\/p>\n

When I was in Campo Verde, Mato Grosso, Brazil<\/a>, I was soothed by a song I heard in the church. Here is how it goes:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A minha vida \u00e9 do Mestre
\nMeu cora\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 do meu Mestre
\nO meu caminho \u00e9 do Mestre
\nMinha esperan\u00e7a \u00e9 meu Mestre.<\/p>\n

A Deus eu entreguei
\nO barco do meu ser
\nE entrei no mar a fora
\nPra longe eu naveguei
\nN\u00e3o vejo mais o cais
\nS\u00f3 Deus e eu agora.<\/p>\n

Na solid\u00e3o da vida
\nEu pude perceber
\nO quanto Deus me ama…(Deus me ama, ah…)
\nAs ondas grandes v\u00eam
\nTentando me arrastar
\nPara longe da presen\u00e7a dele<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can’t understand a single word? Don’t get scared just yet! Try using the translation guide below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My life is of the Master (Jesus)<\/strong><\/p>\n

A minha vida \u00e9 do Mestre
\nMy heart\u00a0 is of my Master.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meu cora\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 do meu Mestre
\nMy path is of the Master<\/strong><\/p>\n

O meu caminho \u00e9 do Mestre<\/p>\n

My hope is my Master<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minha esperan\u00e7a \u00e9 meu Mestre.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To God I entrust<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Deus eu entreguei
\nThe boat of my being<\/strong><\/p>\n

O barco do meu ser
\nAnd I sail far out to sea<\/strong><\/p>\n

E entrei no mar a for a
\nFor as long as I sail<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pra longe eu naveguei
\nI never more capsize<\/strong><\/p>\n

N\u00e3o vejo mais o cais
\nIt\u2019s only God and I now<\/strong><\/p>\n

S\u00f3 Deus e eu agora.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the solitude of life<\/strong><\/p>\n

Na solid\u00e3o da vida
\nI can perceive<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eu pude perceber
\nHow much God loves me (God loves me, ah\u2026)<\/strong><\/p>\n

O quanto Deus me ama…(Deus me ama, ah…)
\nThe great waves came<\/strong><\/p>\n

As ondas grandes v\u00eam
\nAnd tried to pull me <\/strong><\/p>\n

Tentando me arrastar
\nFar away from His presence<\/strong><\/p>\n

Para longe da presen\u00e7a dele<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Repeat the text with translation\u00a0above three\u00a0times; then surprise yourself by seeing how much of the song below you can understand on your own.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A minha vida \u00e9 do Mestre
Meu cora\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 do meu Mestre
O meu caminho \u00e9 do Mestre
Minha esperan\u00e7a \u00e9 meu Mestre.<\/p>\n

A Deus eu entreguei
O barco do meu ser
E entrei no mar a fora
Pra longe eu naveguei
N\u00e3o vejo mais o cais
S\u00f3 Deus e eu agora.<\/p>\n

Na solid\u00e3o da vida
Eu pude perceber
O quanto Deus me ama…(Deus me ama, ah…)
As ondas grandes v\u00eam
Tentando me arrastar
Para longe da presen\u00e7a dele<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I will be uploading the MP3 of the song for you to listen to soon!<\/p>\n
