Original Lyrics
Translation in Portuguese

verse

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati on a snow-white Christmas Eve
Ela estava dirigindo na sexta-feira passada em seu caminho para Cincinnati em uma véspera de natal neve branca
Going home to see her mama and her daddy with the baby in the backseat
Indo pra casa ver sua mãe seu pai, com seu bebê no banco de trás
50 miles to go, and she was running low on faith and gasoline
50 milhas ainda faltando e ela estava quase sem FÉ e gasolina
It′d been a long, hard year
Tenha sido um longo e difícil ano
She had a lot on her mind, and she didn't pay attention
Ela teve muito em que pensar e não prestou atenção
She was going way too fast
Ela estava indo muito depressa
Before she knew it, she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
Antes que se desse conta ela estava girando num fino lençol preto de vidro
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
Ela viu suas duas vidas brilharem diante de seus olhos
She didn′t even have time to cry
Ela nem teve tempo pra chorar
She was so scared
Ela estava tão apavorada
She threw her hands up in the air
Ela jogou as mãos para cima no ar

chorus

Jesus, take the wheel
Jesus, tome a direção
Take it from my hands
Tire de minhas mãos
'Cause I can't do this on my own
Porque não posso fazer isso sozinha
I′m letting go
Eu estou deixando ir
So give me one more chance
Então me dê outra chance
And save me from this road I′m on
De me salvar dessa estrada em que estou
Jesus, take the wheel
Jesus, tome a direção

verse

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
Ainda estava ficando mais frio quando sentiu seus ombros
And the car came to a stop
E o carro parou
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat, sleeping like a rock
Ela chorou quando viu que o bebê no banco de trás dormindo como uma pedra
And for the first time in a long time
E pela primeira vez em muito tempo
She bowed her head to pray
Ela inclinou sua cabeça pra orar
She said, "I'm sorry for the way I′ve been living my life
Ela disse: "Sinto muito pela maneira como tenho vivido minha vida
I know I've got to change, so from now on tonight"
Eu sei que tenho que mudar, então de agora em diante esta noite"

chorus

Jesus, take the wheel
Jesus, tome a direção
Take it from my hands
Tire de minhas mãos
′Cause I can't do this on my own
Porque não posso fazer isso sozinha
I′m letting go
Eu estou deixando ir
So give me one more chance
Então me dê outra chance
And save me from this road I'm on
De me salvar dessa estrada em que estou
Oh, Jesus, take the wheel
Jesus, tome a direção
Oh, I'm letting go
Oh, estou deixando ir ...
So give me one more chance
Então me dê outra chance
Save me from this road I′m on
De me salvar dessa estrada em que estou
From this road I′m on
Desta estrada em que estou

outro

Jesus, take the wheel
Jesus, tome a direção
Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, pegue-o, pegue-o de mim
Oh, whoa, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, whoa, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
