Konkani Lyrics

✦ Verse 1

The news came to Jesus, please, come fast

Jezuk sondex ailo, Somia vegim pav

Lazarus is sick and without Your help he will not last

Lazar asa duent, tuj-adhara virent, toh urchonam…

Mary and Martha watched their brother die

Marie Martha samkar, sompun gelo bhav

They waited for Jesus, He did not come

Tim ravtalim Jezuk, toh yevunk nam

And they wondered why

uprasle dubav

The death watch was over, buried four days

Morronn korun zalem, char dis bhorle

Somebody said, He'll soon be here, the Lord's on His way

Konn tori sangta, “Jezu thoinsor ieta, toh asa vatter”

Martha ran to Him and then she cried

Danvon pavlem Martha, Jezuk roddot mhuntta

Lord, if you had been here,

“Tum hanga zor aslo,

You could have healed him He'd still be alive

taka nivarpacho, toh morcho naslo”

✦ Chorus 1

But You're four days late and all hope is gone

“(Punn) tum char dis uxir, uddlo bhorvonso

Lord, we don't understand why You've waited so long

ieunk somzonam itlo vell, tum kityak ravlo?

But His way is God's way, not yours or mine

Punn tachi manddnni Devachi, nhuim tuji mhoji

And isn't it great, when He's four days late, He's still on time

Tor hem nhoim-gai vichitr, zor char dis uxir, Torui vellar toh

✦ Verse 2

Jesus said, Martha, show me the grave

Jezun mhunnttlem Marthak, fondda sorxim vhor

But she said, Lord, You don't understand

Tinnem mhunnttlem “Somia, tum somzonam,

He's been there four days

taka thoim char dis sorle”

The gravestone was rolled back, then Jesus cried

Fonnddacho fator kaddlo, Jezun marlo ulo

Lazarus come forth, then somebody said

Lazar bhair sor, tor konn thoim mhunntta

He's alive, he's alive (he's alive)

“Toh Jivont zalo, jivont zalo…”

(He's alive, he's alive)

(jivont zalo, jivont zalo)

You may be fighting a battle of fear

Bhirant-koxttam add zuz, tujeim asonk xokta

You've cried to the Lord, I need You now

Tum ulo korta Somiak, tuj-adharak yevunk,

But He has not appeared

Punn toh pavonam…

Friend don't be discouraged

zainakai dukhi ixtta,

'Cause He's still the same

Dev azun bodlunk nam

He'll soon be here, He'll roll back the stone

toh ietolo veginch, kaddunk fator khuxin,

And He'll call out your name (call out your name)

ghevun tujem nanv

✦ Chorus 2

When He's four days late and all hope is gone

zor toh char dis uxir, uddtta bhorvonso

Lord, we don't understand why You've waited so long

ieunk somzonam itlo vell, toh kityak ravlo?

But His way is God's way, not yours or mine

Punn tachi manddnni Devachi, nhuim tuji mhoji

And isn't it great, when He's four days late

Tor hem nhoim-gai vichitr, zor char dis uxir

He's still on time (He's still on time)

Torui vellar toh, huh

Thank God, it's great, when He's four days late

Voi Dev vhortho, char dis uxir

He's still on time (He's still on time) (On time)

Torui vellar toh.
