Voltemos Ao Início

Laura Souguellis' song "Voltemos Ao Início, Voltemos Ao Princípio" is a heartfelt plea to return to a time of simplicity and beauty, both in a spiritual and emotional sense. The repetition of the phrase "Voltemos ao início, voltemos ao princípio" ("Let's go back to the beginning, let's go back to the start") emphasizes a longing for a purer, more innocent time. This could be interpreted as a desire to return to a state of childlike faith and wonder, where everything was straightforward and beautiful.

The central theme of the song revolves around the concept of the "first love," which in a Christian context often refers to the initial, passionate relationship one has with Jesus. The lyrics, "Leva-nos de volta ao primeiro amor, Jesus" ("Take us back to the first love, Jesus"), highlight a yearning to rekindle that initial fervor and devotion. This is a common theme in Christian worship music, where believers seek to renew their commitment and rediscover the joy and simplicity of their faith.

The song also touches on the idea of belonging and companionship, as seen in the lines, "Sim, nós iremos contigo, Amado amigo" ("Yes, we will go with you, Beloved friend"). This suggests a journey not taken alone but with a trusted companion, reinforcing the communal aspect of faith and the support found within a spiritual community. Laura Souguellis' gentle and evocative musical style complements the lyrics, creating an atmosphere of introspection and worship, inviting listeners to reflect on their own spiritual journeys and the beauty of returning to their roots.
