A Vitória de Ana
Alice Maciel
Ana's Victory
Ana, troubled woman, her enemy would provoke her
But the Lord had closed her womb
She couldn't have kids
The priest Eli didn't understand her
And said: How long will you be drunk?
But Ana replied and said
No, my Lord, I'm a woman
In deep anguish of spirit
I haven't been drinking strong drink or wine
But I've been pouring out
My soul before the Lord
Then Eli answered and said: Go in peace
And may the God of Israel grant your request
And Ana rose up, worshiped at dawn
Elcana knew Ana, and the Lord remembered her
Ana cried at the Lord's feet
Ana prayed, and God heard her prayer
The Lord opened Ana's womb
And the child was born to be the Lord's, forever
The Lord opened Ana's womb
And the child was born to be the Lord's
Forever the Lord's
(Cry at the Lord's feet, pray and He will hear you)
(Just as God remembered Ana, He will remember you)
Then Eli answered and said: Go in peace
And may the God of Israel grant your request
And Ana rose up, worshiped at dawn
Elcana knew Ana, and the Lord remembered her
Ana cried at the Lord's feet
Ana prayed, and God heard her prayer
The Lord opened Ana's womb
And the child was born to be the Lord's, forever
The Lord opened Ana's womb
And the child was born to be the Lord's
Forever the Lord's
Forever the Lord's
Forever the Lord's
