Coração Sangrando

Jorge Araujo's song 'Coração Sangrando' delves into themes of emotional pain, resilience, and unwavering faith. The recurring refrain, 'Coração está sangrando dentro do peito,' vividly portrays a heart that is metaphorically bleeding, symbolizing deep emotional wounds inflicted by others. Despite this pain, the singer asserts that those who have caused harm have no right to do so, as he identifies himself as a 'cidadão lá do céu' (citizen of heaven) and a follower of the 'Deus de Israel' (God of Israel). This declaration underscores a sense of divine protection and belonging that transcends earthly suffering.

The song draws a parallel between the singer's experiences and the biblical story of Paul and Silas, who were imprisoned and mistreated but remained steadfast in their faith and forgiveness. This reference serves to highlight the singer's own commitment to forgiveness and resilience in the face of adversity. The line 'Quanto mais pedradas me atirarem, mais firme na rocha eu vou ficar' (The more stones they throw at me, the firmer I will stand on the rock) emphasizes the idea that challenges and attacks only strengthen his resolve and faith.

In the final verse, Araujo speaks of using the metaphorical stones thrown at him to build a 'habitação' (dwelling), signifying the transformation of pain into something constructive and enduring. This dwelling is only temporary, as he looks forward to a 'mansão que Deus preparou lá em Sião' (mansion that God prepared in Zion), symbolizing the ultimate reward and peace in the afterlife. The song, therefore, is a powerful testament to the strength derived from faith, the importance of forgiveness, and the ability to turn suffering into spiritual growth and resilience.
