Explicação da Letra da Música Agua Viva - Raul Seixas - Visão Holística da Letra

Explanation of the lyrics of the song "Água Viva" by Raul Seixas and Paulo Coelho The lyrics of this song were based on, inspired by, or adapted from the poem "Cantar da Alma" (Song of the Soul) written by Saint John of the Cross, a Spanish mystic, priest, and Carmelite friar. This friar suffered persecution from the Inquisition for his mystical and reformist ideals, which led to his imprisonment under a brutal regime in a dark prison in 1578 in the city of Toledo, Spain, where he wrote this poem. In short, we can say that in this poem the friar rejoices in knowing God through his faith, even while experiencing suffering and pain imposed by his situation. Later, after his death, all his work of dedication to humanity and strengthening of faith was finally recognized by the church, which canonized him in 1726, declaring him a Doctor of the Church in 1926 and currently as "Doctor Mysticus". FERNANDO MATHEUS “The fly that lands on honey cannot fly; the soul that remains trapped by the taste of pleasure, feels hindered in its freedom and contemplation.” (Saint John of the Cross). POEM - SONG OF THE SOUL I know well the fountain that flows and runs even at night. That eternal fountain is hidden, but I know well where it has its refuge, even at night. Its origin I do not know, for it has none, but I know that all origin comes from it, even at night. I know that there can be nothing so beautiful, and that the heavens and the earth drink from it, even at night. I know that its bottom cannot be found, and that no one can wade across it, even at night. Its brightness is never obscured, and I know that all light is born from it, even at night. I know that its currents are so cautious, that they water heavens and hells, and the people, even at night. The current that comes from this one is strong and powerful, I know it well, even at night. The current that proceeds from these two, I know that neither of them proceeds, even at night. That eternal fountain is hidden, in this living bread to give us life, even at night. From there it is calling the creatures, who are satisfied in it in the darkness, because it is night. That living fountain that I desire, in this bread of life I already see it, even at night.

I know it couldn't be more beautiful That the heavens and the earth drink from it Even at night I know the currents are mighty That water the heavens, hells Water people Even at night Here the creatures are being called Who drink their fill of this water even In the dark Even at night Even at night... I know the spring well That descends from that mountain Even at night Because it is still night! In the clear day of this night! Because it is still night! In the clear day of this night! #raulseixas #faith #livingwater #poweroffaith
