Violão de Rei

The song "Violão de Rei" by Hinos Avulsos CCB tells a poignant story of despair, divine intervention, and hope. The narrator begins by expressing deep sorrow and a sense of hopelessness, having put away his guitar because it only brought him to tears. This act symbolizes giving up on something once cherished due to overwhelming life challenges. The guitar, in this context, represents not just a musical instrument but a source of emotional expression and connection to a higher power.

As the narrator sits in despair, a divine figure appears, bringing a white guitar with golden strings. This guitar, described as a 'violão de rei' (king's guitar), symbolizes purity, divinity, and a promise of better things to come. The golden strings shining brightly signify hope and the divine touch, suggesting that the narrator's suffering has been noticed by a higher power. The divine figure's message is clear: despite the hardships, the narrator must remain humble and continue his mission on Earth without causing others to suffer.

The promise of a future blessing, to be fulfilled in three months, brings a glimmer of hope to the narrator. The divine figure's departure, with the promise of return, leaves the narrator with a renewed sense of purpose and faith. The recurring imagery of the golden strings and the king's guitar serves as a reminder of the divine promise and the importance of humility and perseverance. The song beautifully intertwines themes of faith, humility, and divine intervention, offering a message of hope and encouragement to those facing life's trials.
