Bem Mais Que a Mim

Ricardo Sá's song 'Bem Mais Que a Mim' is a heartfelt expression of deep spiritual devotion and love for the divine. The lyrics convey a profound desire to place the love for God above all earthly pleasures and personal ambitions. The repeated phrase 'Te amar bem mais que a mim' (To love you much more than myself) underscores the theme of selflessness and the prioritization of divine love over self-interest. This sentiment is further emphasized by the simplicity and purity of the act of loving and contemplating God, as described in the lines 'Bem simples poder te encontrar' (Simply being able to find you) and 'Te amar e contemplar que sou só teu' (To love and contemplate that I am only yours).

The song also explores the idea of finding one's true self through a relationship with the divine. By looking at God 'Acima dos meus sonhos e desejos' (Above my dreams and desires), the singer finds a deeper connection and understanding of their own identity. This introspective journey is marked by listening to God's voice, which serves as a guiding force and a source of peace, as highlighted in 'Te ouvir em tua voz achar a paz' (To hear you and find peace in your voice). The act of listening and following God's voice is portrayed as a path to greater faithfulness and certainty, even in times of uncertainty.

Furthermore, 'Bem Mais Que a Mim' speaks to the joy and security found in belonging to the divine. The lyrics 'Te seguir e ser bem mais que sou' (To follow you and be much more than I am) and 'Na tua segurança me alegrar' (In your security, I rejoice) reflect a sense of liberation and fulfillment that comes from entrusting one's life to God. The song concludes with a powerful affirmation of unwavering faith and happiness in divine love, encapsulated in the lines 'Te pertencer e ser feliz, feliz' (To belong to you and be happy, happy). This final declaration reinforces the overarching message of the song: that true happiness and fulfillment are found in a devoted and loving relationship with the divine.
