Translation of the song lyrics High, Wide and Handsome: Can I forget you? - Oscar Hammerstein II, Richard Tauber

High, Wide and Handsome: Can I forget you? (original)

Que miserável homem que sou, que me tornei
Mendigo o pão que antes sobrava e que era meu
No desapontamento a esperança nasce
E vivo o presente independentemente do que passou
Pois se tudo mudou
E em Cristo eu sou mais do que sou
Pra trás eu deixo o homem que fui
E as casas que eu construí longe de Ti
Se tudo mudou eu abro as velas da embarcação
Na esperança que pela manhã
Avistarei o porto onde te encontrarei
O porto onde te encontrarei
Como um refugiado deixando seu país
Fugindo pela noite sem conseguir dormir
Confiando na promessa que o pranto toma a noite
Mas logo vem o dia, e gritos de alegria ecoarão!
Pois se tudo mudou
E em Cristo eu sou mais do que sou
Pra trás eu deixo o homem que fui
E as casas que eu construí longe de Ti
Se tudo mudou eu abro as velas da embarcação
Na esperança que pela manhã
Avistarei o porto onde te encontrarei
O Porto onde te encontrarei
Se a chuva me alcançar e o barco revirar
Que eu acorde em terra firme lá
Pois se tudo mudou
E em Cristo eu sou mais do que sou
Pra trás eu deixo o homem que fui
E as casas que eu construí longe de Ti
Se tudo mudou eu abro as velas da embarcação
Na esperança que pela manhã
Avistarei o porto onde te encontrarei
Pois se tudo mudou
E em Cristo eu sou mais do que sou
Pra trás eu deixo o homem que fui
E as casas que eu construí longe de Ti
Se tudo mudou eu abro as velas da embarcação
Na esperança que pela manhã
Avistarei o porto onde te encontrarei

High, Wide and Handsome: Can I forget you? (translation)

What a miserable man I am, that I have become
I beg for the bread that was left over and that was mine
In disappointment hope is born
I live in the present regardless of what has happened
Because if everything has changed
And in Christ I am more than I am
I leave behind the man I was
And the houses I built away from You
If everything has changed, I open the vessel's sails
In the hope that in the morning
I will see the port where I will find you
The port where I will meet you
As a refugee leaving his country
Running through the night unable to sleep
Trusting in the promise that the cry takes the night
But soon the day comes, and shouts of joy will echo!
Because if everything has changed
And in Christ I am more than I am
I leave behind the man I was
And the houses I built away from You
If everything has changed, I open the vessel's sails
In the hope that in the morning
I will see the port where I will find you
The Port where I will meet you
If the rain catches up with me and the boat overturns
May I wake up on dry land there
Because if everything has changed
And in Christ I am more than I am
I leave behind the man I was
And the houses I built away from You
If everything has changed, I open the vessel's sails
In the hope that in the morning
I will see the port where I will find you
Because if everything has changed
And in Christ I am more than I am
I leave behind the man I was
And the houses I built away from You
If everything has changed, I open the vessel's sails
In the hope that in the morning
I will see the port where I will find you
