Portugal, and particularly its striking Gothic cathedral and traditional trolley cars. The hymn speaks of Mary’s “yes” and of her great desire to go and visit her cousin Elizabeth. “There Is Haste in the Air” invites young people to identify with Our Lady and to make themselves available to serve in Christ’s mission and the transformation of the world. The lyrics also evoke the joy of WYD, a joy that comes from Jesus, details the press release from the
organizers. The song was written by Father João Paulo Vaz and set to music by Pedro Ferreira, both from the Diocese of Coimbra, in central Portugal. It was chosen following a national competition in which more than 100 songs were judged by a jury. The theme song was recorded in two versions: one in Portuguese and the other in an international version that includes Portuguese, English, Spanish, French and Italian. The “melody was born
before the lyrics,” according to Ferreira, 41. Ferreira then asked Fr. Vaz to write the lyrics. With “a guitar in my hands, I started writing, just like I usually do,” said the 51-year-old priest. He explains that he started from the theme of the WYD in Panama [“Behold, I am the servant of the Lord”], to create a link with the Portuguese event. The
song style is “a popular song, cheerful, young, easy to learn and easy to translate and to adapt,” they say. Fr. Vaz added that the creative process of writing the lyrics became “a very deep time of praying.” Here is an English translation of all the lyrics, with bold indicating the portion that is in English in the international version: From far and wide to gather in this place CHORUS: All are going to hear our voice, Let us raise our arms, there’s haste in the air.
