Quando Dobro Os Joelhos

In 'Quando Dobro Os Joelhos,' Quarteto Virtude delivers a heartfelt message about the power of prayer and unwavering faith in God. The song's title, which translates to 'When I Bend My Knees,' sets the tone for a narrative centered around seeking divine intervention and solace during times of hardship. The act of bending one's knees is a universal symbol of humility and supplication, emphasizing the artist's reliance on a higher power when faced with life's challenges.

The lyrics poignantly describe moments of desperation and the overwhelming weight of burdens. Lines like 'Quando eu penso em desistir, eu dobro os joelhos' ('When I think of giving up, I bend my knees') and 'Se o fardo é pesado demais, eu dobro os joelhos' ('If the burden is too heavy, I bend my knees') highlight the artist's practice of turning to prayer as a source of strength and hope. This act of kneeling and praying is portrayed as a transformative experience, where the individual leaves behind their worries and seeks comfort in the presence of God, referred to as 'Cordeiro' (Lamb) and 'Emanuel' (God with us).

The song also emphasizes trust in God's unwavering faithfulness and promises. The repeated affirmation 'Eu vou confiar em ti' ('I will trust in you') serves as a powerful declaration of faith, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles like the sun falling or mountains crumbling. This trust is rooted in the belief that God is a 'Rocha inabalável' (unshakable rock) and a 'Deus de promessas que não falhará' (God of promises that will not fail). Through these metaphors, Quarteto Virtude conveys a message of resilience and the enduring power of faith, encouraging listeners to find solace and strength in their spiritual beliefs.
