Sangue
N.E.K. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Perdoa-nos, oh Deus
Somos muitos e muitos e muitos
Semeando mais o mal do que o bem
Perdoa-nos, oh Deus
Pois o mal que semeamos
Tem se virado implacavelmente contra nós
Perdoa o sangue derramado
Sobre a terra desde Abel
Perdoa-nos, oh Deus
Perdoa-nos, perdão
Perdoa-nos, oh Deus
Perdoa-nos, perdão
Perdoa o sangue derramado
Sobre a terra desde Abel
Junte, oh Deus, nossos ossos secos
Sopra a vida mais uma vez
Nos perdoe, oh Deus
Pelo imperialismo, o nazismo, o comunismo
O capital selvagem, impiedoso, inescrupuloso
A escravidão, a religião
Sempre querendo te domesticar
Te encaixotar, te fazer de empregadinho
Perdão, por tanto fariseu se dizendo filho Teu
Que não convenceu, que só dividiu
Levando muita gente boa pro covil
Nos perdoe, oh Deus, pelo terrorismo
O holocausto, a pornografia
A pedofilia, a mentira
O dinheiro mal adquirido e mal repartido
A discriminação racial, social, irracional
Nos perdoe, oh Deus
The lyrics of N.E.K.'s song "Sangue" delve deep into themes of forgiveness, remorse, and the cyclical nature of violence and wrongdoing. The song begins with a plea to God for forgiveness, acknowledging the vast amount of evil that humanity continuously sows. The repetition of "Perdoa-nos, oh Deus" (Forgive us, oh God) reflects a sense of urgency and repentance, recognizing that the sins committed by society have now turned mercilessly against them.
The mention of Abel, a biblical figure known for being murdered by his brother Cain, symbolizes the bloodshed and violence that has plagued humanity since ancient times. The plea for forgiveness for the blood spilled on the earth since Abel highlights a collective guilt and responsibility for the atrocities committed throughout history. The imagery of blood as a symbol of sin and violence reinforces the weight of these transgressions that humans seek absolution for.
The song continues by addressing a multitude of societal sins and injustices, ranging from imperialism to racism to terrorism. The list of offenses is extensive, encompassing various forms of oppression, exploitation, and moral degradation that have tainted human history. The acknowledgment of these dark chapters in humanity's past serves as a confession and a plea for divine intervention and forgiveness.
In the final stanza, the lyrics express a desire for reconciliation and renewal. The imagery of dry bones being brought back to life by God's breath evokes a sense of hope and transformation. Despite the litany of wrongs enumerated throughout the song, there is a yearning for redemption and a fresh start. The plea for forgiveness extends to all aspects of human wrongdoing, underscoring the need for healing and reconciliation in the face of a troubled and broken world. Overall, "Sangue" is a poignant reflection on the enduring need for forgiveness, repentance, and redemption in the face of humanity's dark and tumultuous history.
