Santo

Marina Sena's song 'Santo' is a poetic exploration of rebirth, self-discovery, and spiritual freedom. The lyrics open with the powerful declaration, 'Hoje eu nasci de novo' (Today I was born again), setting the tone for a narrative of renewal and transformation. This rebirth is not just physical but also emotional and spiritual, as the singer breathes in the new air and feels the colors that touch her. The imagery of the body and its sensations, such as the hairs standing on end, emphasizes a heightened awareness and a fresh start.

The recurring desire to be an angel and read their story suggests a longing for purity, understanding, and a higher perspective on life. This metaphor of an angel represents an ideal state of being, free from earthly struggles and full of wisdom. The journey is described as a path of suffering and beauty, with faith being the guiding force. The 'santo' (saint) mentioned in the chorus symbolizes a spiritual guide or a divine sign that reassures the singer of her inherent angelic nature and her freedom.

In the latter part of the song, the focus shifts to solitude and the rejection of unfulfilled desires. The lines 'Hoje não vou mais pensar se vem, não vem' (Today I won't think if it comes or not) and 'Planejo a solitude' (I plan solitude) reflect a conscious decision to embrace solitude and let go of expectations. This acceptance of solitude is portrayed as a form of liberation, allowing the singer to detach from what is lacking and find peace within herself. Through 'Santo,' Marina Sena invites listeners to reflect on their own journeys of self-discovery, the beauty of the path, and the freedom found in embracing one's true self.
