Pulsante

In 'Pulsante,' Palankin crafts a deeply spiritual and emotive song that centers on a profound devotion to Jesus. The lyrics express a desire for Jesus to be the focal point of the singer's life, from beginning to end. This plea for divine presence is emphasized through the imagery of being touched by 'brasas do altar' (coals from the altar), symbolizing purification and a consuming passion for the divine. The metaphor of incense releasing its fire and burning endlessly further underscores the singer's yearning for an unceasing, fervent connection with Jesus.

The song also employs the powerful image of being broken like an alabaster jar, a reference to the biblical story of a woman who anointed Jesus' feet with expensive perfume from an alabaster jar. This act of breaking and anointing signifies total surrender and worship, culminating in the singer envisioning themselves prostrate at Jesus' feet, washing and kissing them. This imagery conveys a deep sense of humility, reverence, and adoration.

The chorus shifts to a more personal and intimate tone, describing the overwhelming and hypnotic love the singer feels for Jesus. Words like 'hipnotizante' (hypnotizing) and 'alucinante' (mind-blowing) capture the intensity of this divine love, which leaves the singer breathless and unable to stop loving. The repeated question of how they could not surrender or fall in love highlights the irresistible nature of this spiritual connection. The final lines, 'Pulsante, irradiante, brilhante!' (Pulsating, radiant, brilliant!), celebrate the beauty and magnificence of Jesus, encapsulating the song's theme of passionate devotion and worship.
