Maria

Fernanda Brum's song "Maria" is a heartfelt tribute to Mary, the mother of Jesus, highlighting her sensitivity, humility, and unwavering faith. The lyrics paint a picture of Mary as a devout servant of God, who lived her life in complete submission to His will. She is described as 'bendita entre as mulheres' (blessed among women) and an eternal example of grace and virtue. The song emphasizes the significance of Mary’s role in the divine plan, celebrating the blessed fruit of her womb, Jesus Christ.

The song delves into the moment of divine revelation when the angel of God appeared to Mary, reassuring her not to fear because she was chosen for a special favor. This moment is pivotal as it marks the beginning of the salvation story through the birth of Jesus. The lyrics reflect Mary's acceptance and praise of God's grace and mercy, which she acknowledges as enduring 'de geração em geração' (from generation to generation). This phrase underscores the timeless and universal nature of God's love and mercy, as experienced through Mary’s life.

Fernanda Brum's musical style, often characterized by its emotional depth and spiritual themes, shines through in this song. The repetition of the phrase 'Engrandece, alma minha, a meu Deus e meu Salvador' (Magnify, my soul, my God and my Savior) serves as a powerful refrain, inviting listeners to join in Mary’s song of praise. The song not only honors Mary’s unique role in Christian theology but also serves as a reminder of the virtues of faith, humility, and divine grace that she embodies.
