Sobre Todas as Coisas [English translation]

For God's sake,

Don't you see it's a sin to disdain the one who cares for you?

Don't you see that even God becomes angry as he sees

somebody abandoned like this? For God's sake

To our Lord,

Ask him, if he created the splendor from the dark,

Ask him, If all things - the man, the woman, the animal, the flower -

Were created to worship the Creator,

and also, if the Creator

Invented the creature - I beg you,

Ask him If he created someone from mud with so much love,

So this one should love Him only

No, Our Lord

Surely has not put Earth and Sky in motion ,

Neither has he made the stars, that drift through the firmament like a carrousel,

So they had to revolve around Him.

Or is it just that this god

Who conceived desire in us is really so cruel,

Showing us valleys of milk and honey flowing fountains ,

Valleys which are of his ownership?

For God's sake

Don't you see it's a sin to disdain the one who cares for you

Don't you see that even God becomes angry when he sees

somebody abandoned like this, for God's sake
