Canção de Ninar
Irmã Kelly Patrícia
A Lullaby of Divine Protection and Peace
Ir. Kelly Patrícia's song "Canção de Ninar" is a heartfelt plea for divine protection and peace, wrapped in the comforting imagery of a lullaby. The lyrics are a prayer directed towards the Virgin Mary, asking for her blessing, protection, and love. The repetition of phrases like "Dá-nos tua bênção" (Give us your blessing) and "Dá-nos teu amor" (Give us your love) emphasizes the deep yearning for maternal care and divine intervention in the lives of the faithful.
The song uses the metaphor of a lullaby to convey a sense of comfort and safety. The imagery of being enveloped by Mary's mantle and her gaze, and being cradled by her hands, evokes a profound sense of security and peace. This is further reinforced by the recurring line "Canção de ninar" (Lullaby), which suggests a soothing, protective presence that watches over and nurtures the listener through the night, bringing peace to the heart and soul.
The invocation of Mary as "Nome dulcíssimo" (Sweetest name) highlights the deep reverence and affection the faithful have for her. The song's structure, with its repetitive and soothing lines, mirrors the gentle, rhythmic nature of a lullaby, creating a meditative and calming effect. This reflects Ir. Kelly Patrícia's musical style, which often blends religious devotion with serene, contemplative melodies, aiming to provide spiritual solace and upliftment to her listeners.
"Canção de Ninar" is not just a song but a prayer set to music, inviting listeners to find peace and protection in the embrace of the divine, much like a child finds comfort in a mother's lullaby.
