Dias de Elias

Song Meaning

The lyrics paint a picture of fervent anticipation for a divine outpouring of power and presence. The narrator expresses a deep, almost trembling, response to God's word, pleading for a spiritual revival. This isn't a passive hope; it's an active, internal "clamor" that demands divine intervention. The repetition of "Aviva, aviva Tua obra" underscores this urgent plea for spiritual awakening and renewal. The central tension lies in the contrast between the current state and the promised future. The narrator yearns for the "avivamento prometido aos nossos pais" – a revival promised to past generations, now sought for their own. This longing is intensely personal, expressed as a desire to "viverei pra ver" (I will live to see) this divine intervention. The imagery of God's power descending "sobre toda carne" and His Shekhinah "enchendo a Terra" suggests a comprehensive, earth-shattering spiritual event. The lyrics draw a powerful parallel to the prophet Elijah in the bridge, invoking "Dias de Elias" (Days of Elijah). This reference suggests a time of spiritual restoration, reconciliation between generations being reconciled, and a flourishing of faith, as symbolized by the fig tree bearing fruit. The narrator's fierce declaration, "Eu não abro mão de viver isso em minha geração" (I won't let go of living this in my generation), highlights a resolute determination to witness this promised era of divine power and worship.
