Graal
Lulu Santos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O que é que Jesus Cristo
Falou para José de Arimatéia
Isto é além de dizer
Que o amava muito e muito
E que disto sempre deu provas
Nem a uterpendragão
Por mais que um perguntasse
O outro sempre não e não.
The lyrics of Lulu Santos's song Graal are an open-ended question about the message that Jesus Christ revealed to Joseph of Arimathea. The questions posed invite the listeners to reflect on the mystery of the unknown and the limitations of human knowledge. The first verse highlights the significance of discovering this revelation and its importance for human salvation. The next verse suggests that Jesus demonstrated his love for Joseph through his actions, which confirmed his affection for him. The following lines introduce the mystical characters of Merlin and Uterpendragon, who were known for their magical powers and wise counsel. Despite their abilities, neither of them knew what Jesus revealed to Joseph. The song implies that some things are beyond human comprehension, and even the greatest minds cannot possess all knowledge.
Lulu Santos's Graal is a poetic song that prompts us to question our understanding of the world and the mysteries beyond our reach. The lyrics tap into the human fascination with the unknown and the incomprehensible. The song's message is that some secrets are beyond our capacity to uncover, and we must learn to live with that uncertainty. The song's music expands on this theme with its dreamy melody and poetic lyrics that evoke the otherworldly and the mystical. The song's overall effect is to create a mood of introspection and contemplation on the enigmas of life.
