Corações Tarefeiros

Carlinhos Conceição's song 'Corações Tarefeiros' is a powerful anthem that calls for action and responsibility among its listeners. The lyrics emphasize the urgency of taking on tasks and fulfilling one's duties without hesitation. The phrase 'não há mais tempo a perder' (there is no more time to lose) underscores the immediacy of the call to action. The song suggests that ignoring one's abilities and responsibilities leads to failure and downfall, highlighting the importance of recognizing and utilizing one's potential for the greater good.

The song also touches on the theme of spiritual awakening and enlightenment. The line 'já são chegados os tempos de baixar o véu da ignorância' (the time has come to lower the veil of ignorance) suggests a period of enlightenment where ignorance is dispelled, and a higher understanding is achieved. This spiritual awakening is further emphasized by the call to 'tomemos a lira da boa vontade' (let us take up the lyre of goodwill) and 'fazendo a vontade do pai' (doing the will of the Father), indicating a divine mission that requires collective effort and goodwill.

'Corações Tarefeiros' also speaks to the power of love and compassion in transforming the world. The lyrics 'é de sombra, e de dor, toda ausência de amor' (it is of shadow and pain, all absence of love) highlight the negative consequences of a lack of love and compassion. The song calls for individuals to 'mova seu coração' (move your heart) and 'mãos na massa cristão' (hands-on, Christian), urging them to actively participate in the work of Jesus and contribute to the redemption of the world. The repeated refrain 'a obra é de Jesus, mas a tarefa é nossa' (the work is of Jesus, but the task is ours) reinforces the idea that while the divine mission is guided by Jesus, it is up to each individual to take action and fulfill their part in this collective effort.
