A Vossos Pés

The song 'A Vossos Pés' by Grupo Mães Que Oram Pelos Filhos is a heartfelt prayer set to music, expressing the deep devotion and concerns of a mother's heart through the lens of Christian faith. The title itself, which translates to 'At Your Feet' in English, sets the tone for a song of surrender and humility, as the singer places themselves at the feet of a higher power, symbolizing a position of worship and supplication.

The lyrics convey a mother's plea for divine intervention in the lives of her children. The repeated lines 'Aqui estamos a Vossos pés / Usa de meu amor / Pra que eu possa amar / Como mãe só quero Transbordar!' translate to 'Here we are at Your feet / Use my love / So that I can love / As a mother, I just want to Overflow!' This chorus-like section emphasizes the mother's desire to love her children unconditionally and to be filled with a love that overflows, presumably with divine assistance. The act of offering her love to be used by a higher power suggests a wish for her love to be pure, selfless, and guided by spiritual principles.

The verses 'Te entrego os meus filhos! / Remove-lhes a venda do Pecado! / Sede-lhes propício! / Faça-os o lírio mais formoso! / Não há filho sem Cruz! / Nem mãe sem coração transpassado! / Tudo que foi dor Vitória se tornará' translate to 'I give you my children! / Remove the blindfold of Sin from them! / Be favorable to them! / Make them the most beautiful lily! / There is no child without a Cross! / Nor a mother without a pierced heart! / Everything that was pain will become Victory.' These lines are rich with Christian symbolism, such as the 'blindfold of Sin' and the 'Cross,' which represent the challenges and moral struggles that children face. The mother asks for her children to be transformed into 'the most beautiful lily,' a symbol of purity and renewal. The acknowledgment of pain and the promise of victory suggest a belief in redemption and the transformative power of faith.
