Como Na Primeira Vez (feat. Gidel Lannes)

Shirley Carvalhaes' song "Como Na Primeira Vez (feat. Gidel Lannes)" is a heartfelt plea for spiritual renewal and a return to the purity of one's initial faith. The lyrics express a deep desire to disconnect from worldly distractions and to reestablish a profound connection with the divine. The opening lines, "Faz-me morrer pras coisas desse mundo, faz-me esquecer das coisas que me afastam de você," highlight the singer's yearning to let go of earthly concerns and focus solely on their relationship with God. This sentiment is further emphasized by the metaphor of God's name as a healing balm, which brings restoration and joy to the soul.

The recurring chorus, "Faz outra vez, faz outra vez, faz outra vez, como na primeira vez," serves as a powerful invocation for a renewal of faith, akin to the fervor and innocence experienced during the initial encounter with the divine. The repetition of this plea underscores the intensity of the singer's longing for a spiritual revival. The mention of Jesus as the "Rei dos reis" (King of Kings) and the ultimate source of love reinforces the central theme of divine love and its transformative power.

The song also touches on themes of innocence and first love, as seen in the lines, "Leva-me de volta ao primeiro amor, eu quero te amar acima de tudo, acima de todos." This reflects a desire to return to a state of pure, unadulterated devotion, free from the complexities and distractions of life. The repeated affirmation of Jesus as the "amor maior" (greatest love) encapsulates the essence of the song—a deep, unwavering commitment to spiritual love and renewal. Shirley Carvalhaes, known for her powerful voice and emotive delivery, brings these themes to life, making "Como Na Primeira Vez" a moving and inspirational piece.
