Selo (feat. José Wellington)

The song "Selo (feat. José Wellington)" by Karem Cardim, featuring José Wellington, is a deeply spiritual piece that speaks to the act of surrendering oneself to a higher power, which in this context is the Christian God. The lyrics convey a sense of devotion and the desire to be consumed by the divine presence. The opening lines, "Aqui estou outra vez / Pra te entregar tudo que sou," which translate to "Here I am again / To give you all that I am," set the tone for a personal and intimate conversation with the Lord, indicating a recurring commitment to faith and worship.

The metaphor of fire is central to the song, symbolizing both the presence of God and the transformative power of faith. The singer describes God as the fire that ignited the flame within, suggesting a spiritual awakening or revival. The phrase "Estou tão preso a ti senhor / Em suas cordas de amor" translates to "I am so bound to you, Lord / In your cords of love," which implies a willing and joyful captivity to God's love, rather than a burdensome obligation. The repeated plea for God to come and burn within the singer emphasizes a desire for purification and renewal.

The final lines of the song, "Queimando a dor cicatrizando as feridas / Teu fogo está selando um propósito em mim," which mean "Burning the pain, healing the wounds / Your fire is sealing a purpose in me," suggest that the singer is experiencing healing through their faith. The fire of God is not only a source of warmth and light but also a force that seals a divine purpose within the believer, indicating a sense of destiny or calling that is being affirmed through this spiritual encounter.
