Na Alma e na Voz
Pirisca Grecco
A Dream of Peace Amidst Shadows and Strife
Pirisca Grecco's song "Na Alma e na Voz" is a poignant reflection on the struggles and hopes that permeate human existence. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world marred by conflict, loss, and unfulfilled dreams. Grecco uses powerful imagery to convey the depth of these emotions, such as "paixões afogadas nas sombras da vida" (passions drowned in the shadows of life) and "crianças feridas de armas na mão" (children wounded with weapons in hand). These lines highlight the pervasive sense of despair and the impact of violence on the most vulnerable members of society.
The song also explores the idea of a collective dream for a better world, one that is "semeamos na alma e na voz" (sown in the soul and the voice). This dream is contrasted with the harsh realities of war and suffering, as seen in the lines "mísseis pintando nos ares um céu de ninguém" (missiles painting a sky of no one). Despite these grim images, there is a persistent hope that shines through, embodied in the dream of peace and unity. Grecco envisions a world where the sounds of violence are replaced by the gentle strumming of a guitar, symbolizing harmony and tranquility.
The song's message is both a lament for the current state of the world and a call to action for a more peaceful future. It suggests that true peace can only be achieved when humanity collectively embraces love and understanding, as expressed in the line "seria um beijo do mundo na boca da paz" (it would be a kiss from the world on the mouth of peace). Grecco's evocative lyrics and heartfelt delivery make "Na Alma e na Voz" a powerful anthem for those yearning for a world where dreams of peace are not just aspirations but realities.
