Tem Nada Ver

Teresa Cristina's song 'Tem Nada Ver' offers a critical perspective on the behavior of some religious individuals, particularly those who identify as 'crentes' (believers), who engage in activities that contradict their professed beliefs. The song's title, which translates to 'It has nothing to do with it,' is used ironically to highlight the disconnect between the actions of these individuals and the values they are supposed to uphold.

The lyrics describe various scenarios where believers are seen engaging in activities that are generally considered incompatible with their faith, such as going to nude beaches, getting tattoos of Jesus, drinking wine, and participating in gambling. The song points out the hypocrisy of these actions, especially when these individuals still expect to be seen as faithful and even aspire to 'morar no céu' (live in heaven). The repeated phrase 'eita coisinha que faz crente se dar mal' (roughly 'this little thing that leads believers astray') emphasizes the idea that such behaviors can have negative consequences for their spiritual lives.

The song also serves as a reminder for believers to remain vigilant and true to their faith. It suggests that true victory and salvation come from focusing on the right path and avoiding mistakes. The mention of 'crente girafa' (giraffe believer) metaphorically describes someone who may be physically present in church but whose mind is elsewhere, engaged with worldly concerns. The song concludes by reinforcing the idea that while everything may be permissible, not everything is beneficial, urging believers to commit to their faith genuinely and avoid the pitfalls of hypocrisy.
