Intimidade

Antônio Cirilo's song "Intimidade" is a deeply personal and emotional expression of a desire for closeness with Jesus. The lyrics are filled with intimate imagery and metaphors that convey a longing to be near, to share in the everyday moments, and to find comfort in the presence of the divine. The repeated use of simple, childlike actions such as eating from the same plate, wearing Jesus' shoes, and hiding His sandals to prevent Him from leaving, all serve to illustrate a pure and innocent desire for companionship and closeness.

The song's chorus, with its repetitive "Lá, lá, lá," adds a soothing, almost lullaby-like quality, emphasizing the comfort and peace that the singer finds in Jesus' presence. This is further highlighted in the verse where the singer expresses a wish to rest on Jesus' chest, listening to His heartbeat and finding calm. This imagery evokes a sense of safety and unconditional love, akin to a child resting in the arms of a parent.

Cirilo's lyrics also reflect a deep need for Jesus' presence in every aspect of life. The desire to wear Jesus' shirt, with sleeves too long for the singer's arms, symbolizes a wish to be enveloped in His love and protection. Running through the house to meet Jesus and abandoning oneself in His embrace speaks to the joy and freedom found in this divine relationship. The song concludes with a heartfelt plea, underscoring the singer's profound need for Jesus' presence and touch, encapsulating the essence of spiritual intimacy and dependence on the divine.
