Usa-me

In 'Usa-me,' Marina de Oliveira delivers a heartfelt plea for divine guidance and purpose. The song's lyrics reflect a deep sense of devotion and a desire to be an instrument of God's will. The opening lines, 'A minha voz é tua / Tu me dás a canção,' set the tone for the entire piece, emphasizing the singer's belief that her talents and abilities are gifts from a higher power. This acknowledgment of divine influence is a recurring theme throughout the song, as the artist seeks to align her will with that of her Creator.

The chorus, with its repeated invocation of 'Usa-me' (Use me), underscores the artist's willingness to be a vessel for God's love and compassion. By asking to be used, to sing, and to live through divine inspiration, Marina de Oliveira expresses a profound commitment to serving a higher purpose. The lines 'Dá-me o teu amor / Tão compasivo' (Give me your love / So compassionate) highlight the transformative power of divine love, which the singer wishes to embody and share with the world.

The song also touches on themes of guidance and support, as seen in the lines 'Tu és a luz que me guiará / Nos caminhos aqui' (You are the light that will guide me / On the paths here). This metaphor of light as guidance is a common motif in religious and spiritual music, symbolizing clarity, direction, and hope. The artist's desire to 'abraçar o mundo por Ti' (embrace the world for You) further illustrates her commitment to spreading peace and love, inspired by her faith. 'Usa-me' is a powerful testament to the artist's devotion and her aspiration to live a life of service and compassion, guided by divine love and wisdom.
