Once I stood at the foot of a great high mountain Once I stood at the foot of a great high mountain Uma vez eu parei aos pés de uma grande montanha That I wanted so much to climb That I wanted so much to climb Que eu queria muito escalar And on top of this mountain was a beautiful fountain And on top of this mountain was a beautiful fountain E no topo dessa montanha havia uma linda fonte That flows with the water of life That flows with the water of life Que escoa água da vida I fell down on my knees at the foot of this mountain I fell down on my knees at the foot of this mountain Eu me ajoelhei nos pés dessa montanha I cried, "O Lord what must I do? I cried, "O Lord what must I do? Clamei,"ó Senhor,o que eu devo fazer?"
