Ousado Amor (Reckless Love)

Igor Montijo's song "Ousado Amor (Reckless Love)" is a heartfelt tribute to the overwhelming and unconditional love of God. The lyrics express a deep sense of gratitude and awe for a love that existed even before the singer was aware of it. The opening lines, "Antes do meu falar já cantavas sobre mim" (Before I spoke, you were already singing about me), highlight the preemptive and omnipresent nature of this divine love. This love is described as being so good and kind, providing life and breath even before the singer could acknowledge it.

The chorus emphasizes the irresistible, infinite, and bold nature of God's love. It is a love that pursues relentlessly, regardless of the singer's actions or worthiness. The lines, "Não posso ganhá-lo nem merece-lo, mas ele se entregou por mim" (I can't earn it nor do I deserve it, but He gave Himself for me), underscore the selfless and sacrificial aspect of this love. This theme is further reinforced by the imagery of God fighting for the singer even when they strayed away, and paying a high price for them when they felt worthless.

The song also uses powerful metaphors to illustrate the lengths to which God's love will go to rescue and redeem. Phrases like "Ilumina as trevas" (Illuminates the darkness), "Escala montanhas" (Climbs mountains), and "Derruba muralhas" (Tears down walls) paint a vivid picture of a love that is active, persistent, and transformative. This relentless pursuit and unwavering commitment are central to the message of the song, making it a moving testament to the boundless and bold love of God.
