Rainha da Paz
Frei Gilson
A Heartfelt Plea for Divine Intercession
“Rainha da Paz” by Frei Gilson is a deeply spiritual and emotional song that reflects a plea for divine intercession and support. The lyrics are a prayer directed to the Virgin Mary, referred to as the 'Queen of Peace.' The song opens with the singer prostrating at her feet, symbolizing humility and reverence, and asking for her intercession. This act of prostration is a powerful metaphor for surrendering one's burdens and seeking divine help in times of need.
The recurring plea, “Mãe me ajuda, vem me socorrer” (Mother, help me, come to my aid), underscores the desperation and urgency of the singer's request. The lyrics convey a deep sense of vulnerability and a longing for healing and liberation. The mention of seeking 'cura e libertação' (healing and liberation) suggests that the singer is grappling with significant personal struggles, whether they be physical, emotional, or spiritual.
The song also emphasizes the importance of faith and communion. The lines “Eu quero me alimentar da comunhão, Abastecer a alma e o coração” (I want to feed on communion, Nourish the soul and the heart) highlight the singer's desire to strengthen their faith and find solace in spiritual practices. The act of kneeling to renew one's faith is a poignant image of devotion and the quest for inner peace. The repeated invocation of the 'Queen of Peace' to listen to her child reflects a universal human experience of seeking comfort and guidance from a higher power in times of distress.
“Rainha da Paz” is a touching and heartfelt song that resonates with anyone who has ever sought solace and support in their faith. It beautifully captures the essence of prayer, humility, and the deep human need for divine intervention and peace.
