hooponopono

Maurício Duboc's song 'hooponopono' is a heartfelt exploration of healing, forgiveness, and self-awareness. The lyrics are deeply rooted in the traditional Hawaiian practice of Ho'oponopono, which is a method of reconciliation and forgiveness. The repeated phrases 'Sinto muito... me perdoe, Te amo... sou grato...' translate to 'I'm sorry... forgive me, I love you... thank you,' encapsulating the core tenets of this spiritual practice. These words are a mantra for cleansing negative emotions and fostering inner peace.

The song delves into the human tendency to get lost in illusions and negativity. Lines like 'Se endosso o que não é real, E acredito que existe o mal' ('If I endorse what is not real, And believe that evil exists') highlight the struggle of distinguishing between reality and illusion. Duboc emphasizes the importance of recognizing our infinite nature and not giving power to negative thoughts or actions. This is further reinforced with 'Se esqueço que sou Infinito, Se dou crédito a qualquer delito' ('If I forget that I am Infinite, If I give credit to any offense').

Duboc also touches on the ego and fear as obstacles to self-awareness and unity. The lyrics 'Se a mente ainda se perde no ego, Se o medo ainda me deixa cego' ('If the mind still gets lost in the ego, If fear still blinds me') suggest that overcoming these barriers is essential for spiritual growth. The song encourages listeners to see themselves in others and recognize the interconnectedness of all beings, as expressed in 'Se esqueço de que somos Um, Não reconheço o que nos é comum' ('If I forget that we are One, I do not recognize what is common to us'). Through its repetitive and meditative structure, 'hooponopono' serves as a powerful reminder of the healing power of forgiveness and love.
