Aquarela do senhor

The song 'Aquarela do Senhor' by Luiz Cláudio e as Crianças is a beautiful ode to the divine artistry of creation. The lyrics celebrate the union of color and love, suggesting that the world’s beauty is a testament to a powerful and loving God. The song opens by acknowledging that the vibrant and diverse world was created not just for one person but for everyone, emphasizing a universal connection through divine love.

The recurring imagery of the rainbow, described as 'aquarela do Senhor' (the Lord's watercolor), serves as a central metaphor. Each color in the rainbow is portrayed as a poem of love, symbolizing the myriad ways in which divine love manifests in the world. This metaphor extends to various elements of nature, such as the green forests, the blue sea, the yellow rose, the silver moonlight, the golden sun, and the white snow, each representing different facets of God's love and peace.

Even the gray sky, often seen as gloomy, is depicted positively, as it heralds the coming of beneficial rain. This perspective encourages a sense of gratitude and joy for all aspects of creation, even those that might initially seem less appealing. The song's message is one of appreciation for the natural world and recognition of the divine love that permeates it, inviting listeners to see beauty and love in every color and every part of creation.
