Ponto de Pombo Gira Maria Figueira - Figueira, Sentinela do Amor

Juliana D Passos' song "Ponto de Pombo Gira Maria Figueira - Figueira, Sentinela do Amor" is a beautiful homage to the powerful and mystical figure of Figueira. The lyrics celebrate the strength and magic inherent in nature and women, drawing a parallel between the two. The song opens by highlighting the natural world's magical force, which is mirrored in the strength of women, particularly under the moon's enchanting glow. This sets the stage for introducing Figueira, a figure who embodies beauty, strength, and spiritual energy, often referred to as 'axé' in Afro-Brazilian religions.

Figueira is portrayed as a resilient and fearless woman who has transformed her past struggles into a source of healing and empowerment. The repetition of the lines "Mas ela é maravilhosa, Sua energia traz a paz e o amor" emphasizes her role as a bringer of peace and love. The song acknowledges her past as a 'mulher da vida' (a woman of the night), but it is her journey of overcoming pain and becoming a healer that is celebrated. This transformation is a powerful message of redemption and the ability to find strength and purpose through adversity.

The imagery of Figueira arriving gracefully, whether from the 'calunga' (a term often associated with the sea or the spiritual world) or the crossroads, reinforces her mystical and omnipresent nature. The song invites listeners to make a wish and focus their thoughts when Figueira arrives, recognizing her as a sentinel of love who can bring about positive change. This portrayal of Figueira as a powerful, loving, and healing force is a testament to the enduring strength and resilience of women, particularly those who have faced and overcome significant challenges in their lives.
