Promessa (part. Wilian Nascimento)

In the song 'Promessa' by Anderson Freire, featuring Wilian Nascimento, the lyrics convey a deep sense of spiritual anticipation and longing for the divine promise of eternal life. The repeated phrase 'Vou voar' (I will fly) symbolizes the soul's journey towards heaven, a place promised by Christ himself. This metaphor of flying represents the liberation from earthly constraints and the soul's eagerness to reach a state of eternal bliss and communion with God. The urgency expressed in 'A minh'alma está com pressa' (My soul is in a hurry) underscores the intense desire to attain this divine promise without delay.

The song also paints a vivid picture of the heavenly realm, described as a 'céu de gozo' (heaven of joy) and a place of eternal rest. The imagery of flying like 'santos anjos' (holy angels), 'serafins' (seraphim), and 'arcanjos' (archangels) highlights the purity and sanctity of the afterlife. This celestial vision is filled with 'maravilhas' (wonders) that the soul eagerly anticipates experiencing. The use of angelic beings as metaphors emphasizes the divine and otherworldly nature of the promised heaven, a place of ultimate peace and joy.

Furthermore, the song reflects a deep faith and trust in God's timing, as seen in the lines 'Na hora e no tempo em que Deus me chamar' (In the hour and time when God calls me). This acceptance of divine timing shows a surrender to God's will, coupled with a hopeful yearning for the moment of ascension. The repeated wish 'quem dera fosse agora' (I wish it were now) encapsulates the longing to be united with God in glory, highlighting the believer's readiness and eagerness for this divine encounter.
