VELHO EU

In 'VELHO EU,' Gilbraim Lopes delves into the profound transformation that comes with embracing faith. The song's lyrics reflect a journey from a life filled with actions and behaviors that the singer now views as incompatible with his current beliefs. The phrase 'O velho eu mais morreu' (The old me has died) signifies a complete shedding of his former self, replaced by a new life dedicated to God. This transformation is not just a superficial change but a deep, internal shift that redefines his identity and purpose.

The recurring line 'Sei que não sou ninguém pra dizer o que faço' (I know I am no one to say what I do) underscores a theme of humility. The singer acknowledges his limitations and refrains from boasting about his actions or identity. This humility is further emphasized by the repetition of 'Quem sou pra bater no meu peito e dizer que sou eu' (Who am I to beat my chest and say that I am me), suggesting a relinquishment of ego and a recognition of a higher power guiding his life.

The song also highlights the concept of rebirth through faith. 'Nova vida agora com Cristo' (New life now with Christ) encapsulates the essence of this transformation. The old self is not just left behind but is completely eradicated, making way for a new existence centered around spiritual beliefs. This rebirth is portrayed as a positive and liberating experience, offering a sense of purpose and direction that was previously missing. Through 'VELHO EU,' Gilbraim Lopes communicates a powerful message about the redemptive and transformative power of faith, humility, and the relinquishment of one's former self.
