Deixe-me Nascer

Celina Borges' song 'Deixe-me Nascer' is a poignant and heartfelt plea from the perspective of an unborn child. The lyrics are imbued with a sense of innocence and hope, as the child expresses joy and anticipation for life. The opening lines, 'Oi, tô feliz! Mãe, você ainda nem deve saber,' convey the child's excitement and the intimate connection with the mother, even before birth. The warmth and security of the womb are described as a 'doce lugar de amor,' a sweet place of love, highlighting the natural bond between mother and child.

As the song progresses, the child envisions a future filled with love and gratitude, imagining moments of affection and appreciation towards the mother. The lines 'E um dia correndo pra ti, Pular em teu colo e sorrir' paint a vivid picture of a child's simple yet profound joys. This imagery underscores the potential for a loving relationship and the inherent value of the child's life. The repeated plea, 'Deixe-me nascer, já tenho um coração!' emphasizes the child's humanity and the divine aspect of their existence, as they assert, 'Sou de Deus, quero amar!'

The song also addresses the fear and uncertainty that may lead a mother to consider not carrying the pregnancy to term. The child’s question, 'Mãe, o que é que foi? Eu incomodo você!?' reflects a deep vulnerability and a desire for acceptance. Despite the potential rejection, the child expresses unconditional love and a willingness to pray for the mother from heaven, showcasing a profound sense of forgiveness and compassion. 'Deixe-me Nascer' is a powerful anthem advocating for the sanctity of life, the innocence of the unborn, and the transformative power of love and acceptance.
