Born primogenitus from Elmiro Nunes de Almeida and Marli Asmar de Almeida, Cristina Mel has, since early years, been sorely tested.
At age 16, a stage of grief at her parents' divorce, she was invited by a friend Gopel to attend a church in Rio de Janeiro, an American Christian group, The Continental Singers an Orchestra, under the pretext of practicing English. Cristina gave her life to Jesus Christ and "saw the bitterness of her life to become a honey". New heart, new life, with forgiveness, restoration, joy and peace. Cristina Mel had born just at that moment — as reported by herself.
Today, with its 20-year career, established as one of the most beautiful voices and powerful music, gospel and secular, national and international, selling over five million copies, with gold in all the burned CDs without the awards have achieved with simple platinum and double platinum. Her musical career has reached both the gospel market in Portuguese (in Brazil and abroad), as the Latin market. Cristina Mel has also produced, with special focus on whole albums, dedicated exclusively to children.
Lembra
Cristina Mel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Te tomei em meus braços
Tão cansado da vida
Você quis desistir
Disso tudo
Das promessas que alguém te fez
Fez-te acreditar
Enxuguei os teus olhos
Dois espelhos de mágoas, sem poder prosseguir
Tua história, ninguém jamais vai querer se lembrar
Meu amor pode apagar
Meu amor por ti, é imenso
É tão mais alto e forte
Além das nuvens e do céu cinzento
Além do que os olhos vêem
Lembra
Te aceitei como estavas
Eu nem mais me lembrava
Jamais lhe perguntei do passado
Como criança de colo eu te amei
Saiba que eu nunca te deixarei
Meu amor por ti, é imenso
É tão mais alto e forte
Além das nuvens e do céu cinzento
Além do que os olhos vêem...
"Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days, i was beautiful then
I remember the time i knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again"
... Eu nunca te deixarei.
The lyrics to Cristina Mel's song "Lembra" address the idea of holding on to the memories of a difficult time and the power of love to overcome it. The song starts by describing the singer holding their loved one in their arms, exhausted from life and wanting to give up on everything, including the promises others had made them believe. The singer knows this pain intimately, as they have seen the hurt in their loved one's eyes and have comforted them when everyone else turned away.
As the song continues, the singer promises to always be there for their loved one and to help them forget the past. They remind them that their love is strong enough to overcome any obstacle, even the gray skies and clouds. The chorus repeats the sentiments of the verses, that the love between the singer and their loved one is immense and can overcome anything.
The final lines of the song recall the opening lines of the hit musical "Cats" and suggest that the memories of this difficult time will live on but that the singer is there to help shoulder the burden.
Overall, "Lembra" is a powerful song that speaks to the universal experience of love and the pain of holding onto memories of difficult times.

Te tomei em meus braços
I held you in my arms
Tão cansado da vida
So tired of life
Você quis desistir
You wanted to give up
Disso tudo
From all of this
Das promessas que alguém te fez
From the promises that someone made to you
Fez-te acreditar
Made you believe
Enxuguei os teus olhos
I wiped your eyes
Dois espelhos de mágoas, sem poder prosseguir
Two mirrors of sorrow, unable to proceed
Tua história, ninguém jamais vai querer se lembrar
No one will ever want to remember your story
Meu amor pode apagar
My love can erase it
Meu amor por ti, é imenso
My love for you is immense
É tão mais alto e forte
It's so much higher and stronger
Além das nuvens e do céu cinzento
Beyond the clouds and the gray sky
Além do que os olhos vêem
Beyond what the eyes can see
Te aceitei como estavas
I accepted you as you were
Eu nem mais me lembrava
I didn't even remember
Jamais lhe perguntei do passado
I never asked about the past
Como criança de colo eu te amei
Like a baby in my arms, I loved you
Saiba que eu nunca te deixarei
Know that I will never leave you

Escutava essa música momentos antes da minha mãe falecer bem na minha frente, ela sofreu com câncer por 10 anos. Vendo o sofrimento dela naquela cama, sofria junto, essa canção confortava meu coração, até hoje eu me emociono escutando ela. Saudades demais da minha mãe😢
