Vamos Pisar

In 'Vamos Pisar,' Andre Etzberger delivers a powerful message of faith and spiritual warfare. The song's lyrics emphasize the Christian belief in the triumph of Jesus Christ over evil forces. Etzberger repeatedly mentions that Jesus has commanded him to preach the gospel and has given him the power to 'pisa' or trample on various entities associated with evil, such as 'preto velho,' 'pomba gira,' 'lúcifer,' and 'Omulu.' These references are deeply rooted in Brazilian culture and religious syncretism, where 'preto velho' and 'pomba gira' are spirits in Afro-Brazilian religions like Umbanda and Candomblé, while 'lúcifer' and 'Omulu' are more universally recognized as representations of evil and death, respectively.

The recurring chorus, 'Vamos pisar meu irmão vamos pisar, na cabeça do diabo que Jesus Cristo venceu,' translates to 'Let's trample, my brother, let's trample, on the head of the devil that Jesus Christ has defeated.' This line reinforces the song's central theme of victory over evil through faith in Jesus. The act of trampling symbolizes not just overcoming but also a complete domination over these dark forces, suggesting that believers have been empowered by their faith to conquer any spiritual adversaries.

Etzberger's song is a call to action for Christians to actively engage in their faith, preaching 'noite e dia' (night and day) and with 'mais fé' (more faith). The geographical references to preaching 'norte a sul' (north to south) indicate a mission that spans the entire country, emphasizing the universal nature of this spiritual battle. The song's energetic and repetitive structure serves to rally believers, encouraging them to stand firm in their faith and to take an active role in their spiritual journey, confident in the victory that Jesus has already secured for them.
