Ao Lembrarmos

In 'Ao Lembrarmos,' Alessandro Vilas Boas crafts a deeply spiritual and evocative song that delves into themes of divine reverence, human longing, and the transformative power of encountering the divine. The lyrics are rich with imagery and metaphors that paint a picture of a sovereign King, whose fame and glory are celebrated by His people. The repetition of phrases like 'Honra e glória' (Honor and glory) underscores the reverence and adoration directed towards this divine figure, emphasizing His supreme authority and the respect He commands.

The song also explores the human desire for a deeper connection with the divine. The lines 'E nós, assentados ao redor da fogueira da presença / Desejamos mais, muito mais' (And we, seated around the fire of presence / We desire more, much more) evoke a sense of communal longing and spiritual hunger. This imagery of sitting around a fire suggests warmth, intimacy, and a shared experience of seeking something greater. The repeated plea for more of the divine presence highlights a profound spiritual thirst and a yearning for a transformative encounter.

'Ao Lembrarmos' also reflects on the impact of witnessing divine glory. The lyrics 'Pois ao lembrarmos de todos os homens que viram Sua glória / Nenhum deles permaneceu do mesmo jeito' (For when we remember all the men who saw His glory / None of them remained the same) suggest that such encounters are life-changing. This transformation is a central theme, as the song calls for a revelation of divine glory with the repeated plea 'Mostra-nos' (Show us). The song concludes with a humble acknowledgment of the divine's exalted position and the human response of honor and glory, encapsulating a journey of reverence, longing, and transformation.
