Jardim de Deus

The song "Jardim de Deus" by Irmãs Falavinha is a spiritual hymn that celebrates the beauty and peace found in one's relationship with God. The lyrics metaphorically compare this relationship to a beautiful garden filled with flowers, which represents the joy and contentment the singer feels in their heart. The reference to 'rosas cravos e jasmins' (roses, carnations, and jasmines) and the 'grande gozo' (great joy) experienced in this garden symbolize the diverse and profound pleasures of spiritual fulfillment.

The song also alludes to the Christian concept of salvation and the promise of eternal life, as the singer expresses gratitude for being freed from 'escravidão' (slavery), which can be interpreted as sin or earthly troubles. The mention of 'Sião' (Zion) and the 'jardim celestial' (heavenly garden) points to the hope of reaching heaven, while the act of being 'sepultados no Jordão' (buried in the Jordan) refers to baptism and the Christian rite of passage that symbolizes purification and rebirth.

Lastly, the song conveys a sense of anticipation for the second coming of Christ, as it speaks of the 'esperança gloriosa' (glorious hope) of meeting the 'grande rei' (great king) who will return. The desire to join Christ in 'Jerusalém' (Jerusalem) reflects the ultimate goal of the faithful to be united with God in the afterlife. The repeated chorus emphasizes the communal aspect of this spiritual journey, inviting all to rejoice in the Lord.
