Eu Te Escolhi

In 'Eu Te Escolhi' by Banda Universos, the lyrics convey a powerful message of divine selection, protection, and unwavering support. The song opens with a reference to being saved from the depths of despair, symbolized by the 'abismo' (abyss) and the 'lugar mais longínquo da Terra' (the farthest place on Earth). This imagery suggests a profound rescue from a place of extreme isolation or danger. The speaker, representing a divine figure, reassures the listener that they have been chosen and should not fear rejection. This selection is not just a random act but a deliberate choice, emphasizing the listener's importance and value in the eyes of the divine.

The chorus reinforces this message of reassurance and support. The repeated phrase 'Eu Sou contigo, não temas' (I am with you, do not fear) serves as a comforting reminder of the divine presence. The divine figure identifies as both God and a friend, offering strength, help, and sustenance. This dual role highlights a personal and intimate relationship, where the divine is not only a powerful protector but also a close companion. The promise of support 'com o Meu poder' (with My power) underscores the omnipotence of the divine, capable of providing unwavering support and strength.

The final verses shift focus to the adversaries of the listener. Those who persecute or oppose the listener will be 'envergonhados e confundidos' (ashamed and confused) and ultimately 'reduzidos a nada' (reduced to nothing). This serves as a powerful assurance that any opposition will be rendered powerless. The divine protection extends beyond mere comfort; it actively works to dismantle any threats against the chosen individual. This comprehensive protection reinforces the central theme of divine selection and unwavering support, providing a sense of security and peace to the listener.
