Preciso de Ti

In 'Preciso de Ti,' Jorge Trevisol crafts a poignant narrative that intertwines divine calling with human responsibility. The song opens with a compelling invitation to leave behind one's familiar world and embrace a higher purpose. The lyrics, 'Deixa tua terra, teu mundo, preciso de ti!' (Leave your land, your world, I need you!), evoke a sense of urgency and divine necessity. This call to action is not just a physical journey but a spiritual one, urging the listener to abandon their comfort zone and heed a higher calling.

The song continues to emphasize the beauty of hearing God's voice among the people, 'Como é bonito, Senhor, do meio do povo escutar tua voz!' (How beautiful it is, Lord, to hear your voice among the people!). This line highlights the communal aspect of faith, where divine messages are not just personal but shared experiences that bind the community together. The repeated affirmation of God's presence, 'Que sempre caminhas no meio de nós!' (That you always walk among us!), reinforces the idea that divine guidance is a constant, reassuring presence in the lives of the faithful.

Trevisol also addresses the struggles and sufferings of the people, 'Sei das angústias do povo: Ouvi teu clamor!' (I know the people's anguish: I heard your cry!). This acknowledgment of human pain and the promise of liberation, 'Sabes, eu vou libertá-lo: Preciso de ti!' (You know, I will free them: I need you!), underscores the song's central theme of divine-human partnership. The call to 'denunciar toda dor e opressão' (denounce all pain and oppression) is a powerful reminder that faith is not passive but active, requiring believers to stand against injustice with the assurance that they are not alone.
