Recomeçar

The song 'Recomeçar' by Comunidade Católica Colo de Deus is a powerful anthem of hope, renewal, and divine promise. The title itself, which translates to 'Restart' or 'Begin Again,' sets the tone for a message of fresh beginnings and the rekindling of dreams. The lyrics encourage listeners to 'volte a sonhar' (dream again) and embrace a 'tempo novo' (new time), suggesting that no matter the past, there is always an opportunity for a new start. This theme is deeply rooted in Christian faith, where the idea of redemption and new beginnings is central.

The song speaks of a divine promise to 'devolver ao meu povo as visões, profecias, o poder, a unção' (return to my people the visions, prophecies, power, anointing). This line is rich with biblical references, evoking the restoration of spiritual gifts and a renewed connection with the divine. The repetition of 'ôôôô' throughout the song adds a meditative, almost chant-like quality, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in the spiritual experience.

The personal and communal aspects of faith are intertwined in the lyrics. The singer expresses a deep, personal longing for this renewal, stating 'O meu coração esperava por esse dia' (My heart was waiting for this day) and 'Vou reescrever minha história, de amor com você' (I will rewrite my love story with you). This intimate connection with the divine is coupled with a communal call to receive 'o meu espírito que é amor' (my spirit which is love), emphasizing that this renewal is not just for the individual but for the entire community. The song ultimately serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith, love, and the promise of new beginnings.
