Vou Para o Alvo

Padre Reginaldo Manzotti's song "Vou Para o Alvo" is a powerful anthem of faith and determination. The lyrics convey a deep sense of trust in God's guidance and protection, even in the face of life's challenges. The opening lines, "Posso ouvir a sua voz nessa escuridão" (I can hear your voice in this darkness), set the tone for a journey through adversity with divine support. The metaphor of walking on water, reminiscent of the biblical story of Jesus and Peter, symbolizes the miraculous feats one can achieve with unwavering faith.

As the song progresses, the recurring theme of tranquility and security in God's care becomes evident. The lines "E quanto mais eu me aproximo mais me sinto assim / Tão tranquilo porque sinto Deus cuidar de mim" (And the closer I get, the more I feel this way / So calm because I feel God taking care of me) highlight the peace that comes from a close relationship with the divine. This sense of peace is contrasted with the turbulent storms of life, which the singer feels protected from, reinforcing the idea that faith provides a shield against life's hardships.

The chorus, with its declaration of moving towards the goal and being more than a conqueror, emphasizes a sense of purpose and victory. "Vou para o alvo eu vou / Nada me impedirá / Sou mais que vencedor / Comigo Deus está" (I go towards the goal / Nothing will stop me / I am more than a conqueror / God is with me) is a powerful affirmation of resilience and divine companionship. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of God's guidance, "Tu me Guiará" (You will guide me), underscoring the belief that with God's direction, one can navigate any path successfully.
