Ponto de Oxóssi - Oxóssi É o Nosso Protetor

Juliana D Passos' song 'Ponto de Oxóssi - Oxóssi É o Nosso Protetor' is a beautiful homage to Oxóssi, a deity in Afro-Brazilian religions such as Candomblé and Umbanda. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a night in the forest, filled with the sounds of nature and the presence of Oxóssi, the hunter and protector. The song opens with a description of the natural beauty of the forest, highlighting the sounds of waterfalls and the song of the sabiá, a bird native to Brazil. This sets the stage for a celebration of the natural world and its connection to the divine.

The song continues with a depiction of a night illuminated by the moon, during which the singer witnesses the presence of Oxóssi. This moment is portrayed as a festive occasion, with the forest covered in flowers and birds singing in praise of the deity. The repetition of the phrase 'até os passarinhos cantam' emphasizes the harmony between nature and the spiritual world, suggesting that even the smallest creatures recognize and honor Oxóssi's presence.

The chorus of the song expresses a deep sense of gratitude and reverence for Oxóssi, who is described as a protector. The repeated lines 'Ô ô ô ô ô quanta beleza' and 'Ô ô ô ô quanto esplendor' convey a sense of awe and wonder at the beauty and splendor of the natural world and the divine. The affirmation 'Como é bom ter a certeza que o pai Oxóssi é nosso protetor' reflects the comfort and security that comes from knowing that Oxóssi is watching over and protecting the community. The song concludes with the phrase 'Okê arô!', a traditional greeting and praise for Oxóssi, reinforcing the song's theme of reverence and gratitude.
