Eu Te Quero / Ainda Que a Figueira

The song 'Eu Te Quero / Ainda Que a Figueira' by Morada is a profound expression of unwavering devotion and faith in God. The lyrics convey a deep longing for a relationship with the divine, valuing it above all material possessions and earthly blessings. The repetition of phrases like 'Eu te quero mais do que o ouro' (I want you more than gold) and 'Eu te quero mais do que os tesouros' (I want you more than treasures) emphasizes the singer's prioritization of spiritual wealth over material wealth. This sentiment is further reinforced by the declaration that the singer's heart cannot live without God's great love, highlighting the centrality of this divine connection in their life.

The song also touches on the theme of God's unwavering support and presence, even in times of tribulation. The lyrics 'Tu és a minha porção' (You are my portion) and 'Tu és o meu socorro nos dias de tribulação' (You are my help in days of tribulation) reflect a deep trust in God's providence and protection. This trust is not shaken by external circumstances, as illustrated by the lines 'Mesmo que meus pais me deixem' (Even if my parents leave me) and 'Mesmo que amigos me traiam' (Even if friends betray me). The singer finds solace and salvation in God's embrace, regardless of human failings.

The latter part of the song, 'Ainda que a figueira não floresça' (Even if the fig tree does not blossom), draws from the biblical book of Habakkuk, which speaks of maintaining joy and faith in God despite adverse conditions. This passage underscores the message that true joy and contentment come from a relationship with God, not from external circumstances. The repeated affirmation 'Eu me alegrarei em Ti' (I will rejoice in You) serves as a powerful reminder of the singer's steadfast faith and joy in God's presence, even when faced with scarcity and hardship.
