Confia

Eliane Fernandes' song 'Confia' is a heartfelt plea for trust and faith in the face of suffering and uncertainty. The lyrics open with a poignant question, 'Chorar pra quê?' which translates to 'Why cry?' This rhetorical question sets the tone for the song, suggesting that tears alone cannot resolve one's suffering. Instead, the song encourages listeners to cast their anxieties at the feet of the Lord, implying that true solace and resolution come from spiritual surrender and faith.

The imagery of 'os seus olhos vermelhos' or 'your red eyes' reflects deep despair and emotional pain. However, the song quickly shifts to a message of comfort, emphasizing the presence of the Holy Spirit as a source of consolation. This spiritual presence is described as invading the listener's heart, offering a sense of divine intervention and peace. The repeated exhortation to 'Confia' or 'Trust' serves as a mantra, urging listeners to maintain their faith even when they cannot see the miracle they hope for.

The chorus reinforces this message of trust and divine control. Phrases like 'Deus está no controle de cada detalhe' ('God is in control of every detail') and 'Respira, pois até no silêncio ele cuida de ti' ('Breathe, for even in silence He takes care of you') highlight the belief in a higher power's meticulous care and attention. The song encourages listeners to rest and find peace in this divine oversight, suggesting that the future holds unimaginable blessings. The repetition of 'Descansa, confia, descansa' ('Rest, trust, rest') at the end serves as a soothing reminder to let go of worries and place trust in God's plan.
