Ouvi Dizer

In 'Ouvi Dizer,' Grupo Elo delves into the profound contrast between human love and divine love. The song begins by addressing the elusive and often deceptive nature of human love, described as a 'ghost' that people chase in hopes of finding meaning and happiness. The lyrics reflect a journey of seeking love and pleasure in worldly things, only to find that such love is ultimately misleading and unfulfilling.

The turning point in the song comes with the introduction of Christ's love. Unlike the 'enganoso amor' (deceptive love) previously mentioned, Christ's love is portrayed as true and sacrificial. The lyrics highlight the ultimate act of love—Christ's sacrifice on the cross. This divine love is presented as the only love that can truly transform and fulfill a person's life. The singer expresses a deep sense of gratitude and joy for this love, which has given their life new meaning and endless joy.

The song also touches on themes of compassion and empathy. The singer recounts witnessing the struggles of humble, impoverished people and attempting to offer them love and comfort. However, this human effort is again contrasted with the perfect love of Christ, which is shown to be the only source of true and lasting transformation. The song concludes with a celebration of the happiness and fulfillment found in a relationship with Christ, emphasizing the transformative power of divine love over human efforts.
