Me Deu Vontade de Sapatear

Pastora Luciana's song 'Me Deu Vontade de Sapatear' is a vibrant and spiritually charged piece that captures the essence of divine joy and worship. The repetitive and rhythmic lyrics, 'Me deu vontade de sapatear,' which translates to 'I felt like tap dancing,' convey an overwhelming urge to express joy through dance. This dance is not just any dance but a spiritual act, a form of worship and celebration of the divine presence of Jeová (Jehovah).

The song emphasizes the 'mistério de Jeová,' or the mystery of Jehovah, suggesting a deep, almost mystical connection with the divine. The act of tap dancing becomes a metaphor for the ecstatic and spontaneous expression of faith. The repetition of 'Eu vou sapatear, tu vai sapatear' (I will tap dance, you will tap dance) invites everyone to join in this communal act of worship, breaking down barriers and uniting people in their shared spiritual experience.

The lyrics also highlight a sense of divine authority and power. Phrases like 'Marcharei na presença de papai' (I will march in the presence of the Father) and 'Quem manda nela é Deus' (Who commands it is God) reinforce the idea that the earth and everything in it is under divine control. The imagery of 'pisa no tapete de fogo' (step on the carpet of fire) and 'varão do renovo' (man of renewal) adds a layer of intensity and fervor to the worship, suggesting a purifying and renewing experience through divine fire.

' Me Deu Vontade de Sapatear' is a powerful expression of faith, joy, and divine connection. It invites listeners to let go of their inhibitions and join in a collective celebration of the divine mystery, experiencing the transformative power of worship through dance.
