Me Faz Te Amar Mais
Alessandro Vilas Boas
A Deep Yearning for Divine Connection
Alessandro Vilas Boas' song "Me Faz Te Amar Mais" is a heartfelt plea for a deeper spiritual connection and a shift away from self-centeredness. The lyrics express a desire to focus less on oneself and more on the divine, encapsulated in the repeated line, "Mais de Ti, menos de mim" (More of You, less of me). This phrase highlights the central theme of the song: the longing to diminish one's ego and increase one's devotion to God.
The song also delves into the intimate relationship between the believer and the divine. The lines "Desnunda teu coração perante os meus olhos" (Unveil your heart before my eyes) and "Escute minhas lágrimas dizendo: Eu te amo" (Listen to my tears saying: I love you) convey a deep emotional and spiritual vulnerability. The singer is not just asking for a superficial connection but is yearning for a profound, heartfelt communion with God. This is further emphasized by the repeated declarations of love and devotion, "Te amo, te quero, Rei meu e Deus meu" (I love you, I want you, my King and my God).
The recurring theme of fascination, as seen in the lines "Tão fascinado estou" (I am so fascinated), underscores the awe and wonder that the singer feels towards the divine. This fascination is not just a fleeting emotion but a profound, enduring state of being that drives the singer to seek a deeper connection. The song, with its repetitive and meditative structure, serves as a form of worship, inviting listeners to join in this spiritual journey and to seek a closer relationship with the divine.
