Todos Os Santos Lyrics in English Moonspell

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Todos Os Santos by Moonspell from Portuguese to English.
Apesar da matança
Despite the slaughter
Dos corpos caídos
Of the fallen bodies
Que decoram as colinas
Adorning the hills
Faz dia em Portugal!
It's day in Portugal!
Apesar da desgraça
Despite the misfortune
Dos mortos, dos vivos
Of the dead, the living
Que percorrem a cidade
Roaming the city
Faz dia! Faz dia!
It's day! It's day!
Em todas as cruzes, tábuas partidas
On all crosses, broken boards
Quarenta igrejas caídas
Forty fallen churches
E dos conventos nem um lamento
And from the convents, not a lament
Nem um sinal de vida
Not a sign of life
Todos os santos não chegaram
All saints did not arrive
Faz dia em Portugal!
It's day in Portugal!
Apesar do massacre, de fracos e fortes
Despite the massacre, of weak and strong
Que rezavam as matinas
Who prayed the matins
Faz dia em Portugal!
It's day in Portugal!
Apesar de miséria de ricos e pobres
Despite the misery of rich and poor
Faz dia!
It's day!
Faz dia em Portugal!
It's day in Portugal!
Todos os santos não chegaram
All saints did not arrive
Todos os santos não chegaram
All saints did not arrive
Todos os santos não chegaram
All saints did not arrive
Todos os santos não chegaram
All saints did not arrive
Faz dia!
It's day!
Faz dia
It's day
Em Portugal!
In Portugal!
Todos os santos não chegaram
All saints did not arrive
Todos os santos não chegaram
All saints did not arrive
Apesar da matança
Despite the slaughter
Todos os santos não chegaram
All saints did not arrive
Faz dia em Portugal!
It's day in Portugal!
Todos os santos não chegaram
All saints did not arrive
Faz dia em Portugal!
It's day in Portugal!
Todos os santos não chegaram
All saints did not arrive
Faz dia em Portugal!
It's day in Portugal!
Todos os santos não chegaram
All saints did not arrive
Todos os santos não chegaram
All saints did not arrive
Faz dia! Faz dia!
It's day! It's day!
Em Portugal!
In Portugal!
Em Portugal!
In Portugal!
Faz dia! Faz dia!
It's day! It's day!
Em Portugal!
In Portugal!
