Agnus Dei
Labirinto Lyrics

The lyrics of Labirinto's song "Agnus Dei" depict a sense of insatiable devotion and a surrender of oneself to a higher power. The first line, "Insaciável, em teu louvor eleva a tua glória aos céus" can be interpreted as the singer being insatiable in their praise and worship, continuously and relentlessly lifting the glory of the divine to the heavens.

The following line, "Amedrontado, maculado, em teu poder embriagado," suggests that the singer feels both fearful and stained by the power of the divine. They acknowledge their vulnerability and imperfections, yet they are also intoxicated by the overwhelming force and energy that comes from this higher power.

The next lines shift the focus to a figure named Gavri'el, who is portrayed as one experiencing both sorrow and abandonment. "Sagradas mãos sangram, terrenos são, Gavri'el e seu pranto" conveys the image of Gavri'el's sacred hands bleeding, signifying pain or sacrifice. The phrase "terrenos são" suggests that Gavri'el is earthly, implying that even divine beings can experience sadness and anguish.

The subsequent lines reveal that Gavri'el is sustained by the wounds or wounds of the divine. "Por teus, abandonado, por tuas chagas, sustentado" indicates that Gavri'el remains devoted despite feeling abandoned, finding solace and support in the wounds inflicted by this higher power. The repetition of the word "E são," meaning "And they are," emphasizes the enduring nature of this reverence and devotion.

The last line, "Adoecido insaciável," can be understood as Gavri'el's insatiable longing or desire, despite being afflicted or unwell. This dualistic expression highlights the complex nature of the singer's relationship with the divine, one marked by both vulnerability and unwavering commitment.
