Hosana Hosana

Lewis Miguel's song 'Hosana Hosana' is a powerful anthem of faith, redemption, and gratitude. The lyrics are deeply rooted in Christian beliefs, celebrating the transformative power of God's love and grace. The repeated lines 'Diga o fraco, forte sou / Diga o pobre, rico estou / Diga o cego, posso ver' translate to 'Let the weak say, I am strong / Let the poor say, I am rich / Let the blind say, I can see,' emphasizing the miraculous changes that faith can bring into one's life. These lines reflect a common theme in Christian music, where believers are encouraged to declare their faith and the blessings they have received, despite their current circumstances.

The chorus, 'Hosana, Hosana ao Cordeiro que venceu / Hosana, Hosana, Jesus Cristo é o nosso Rei,' which means 'Hosanna, Hosanna to the Lamb who overcame / Hosanna, Hosanna, Jesus Christ is our King,' is a direct reference to the biblical story of Jesus Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. 'Hosanna' is a term of adoration and praise, often used in Christian worship to honor Jesus. By calling Jesus 'the Lamb who overcame,' the song acknowledges His sacrifice and victory over sin and death, reinforcing the message of salvation and eternal life.

The second verse, 'Nos teu rios mergulhei / E meus pecados eu lavei / Lá dos céus me dás perdão / E salvação por teu amor,' translates to 'In your rivers I dived / And washed my sins away / From the heavens you give me forgiveness / And salvation through your love.' This imagery of cleansing and renewal through water is a powerful metaphor for baptism and spiritual rebirth. The song concludes with a declaration of liberation and joy, 'Cantarei da salvação / Pois Jesus me libertou,' meaning 'I will sing of salvation / For Jesus has set me free.' This final proclamation encapsulates the essence of the song: a heartfelt expression of gratitude for the freedom and new life found in Jesus Christ.
