As Dez Virgens

Lauriete's song 'As Dez Virgens' draws heavily from the biblical parable of the ten virgins found in the Gospel of Matthew. The lyrics tell the story of ten virgins who are waiting for the arrival of the bridegroom. Five of them are wise and have enough oil for their lamps, while the other five are foolish and run out of oil. When the bridegroom arrives, only those with oil in their lamps are allowed to join the wedding feast, symbolizing the importance of being prepared for the coming of Christ.

The repeated refrain 'O noivo vai chegar!' (The bridegroom is coming!) serves as a powerful reminder of the imminent return of Jesus. The song emphasizes the urgency of spiritual readiness, urging listeners to keep their 'lamps' filled with oil, which can be interpreted as maintaining a strong and active faith. The oil represents the Holy Spirit, and the lamp symbolizes the believer's life. Without the oil, the lamp cannot shine, just as a believer cannot live a fruitful Christian life without the Holy Spirit.

The song also touches on themes of victory and eternal joy. It speaks of a time when there will be no more night or death, and the church will sing in a heavenly choir. This imagery is meant to inspire hope and anticipation for the eternal life promised to believers. Lauriete's powerful vocals and the song's uplifting melody enhance the message, making it a stirring call to spiritual vigilance and preparation for the return of Christ.
