Ieô, iê iê iê ieô
Ieô, iê iê iê ieô
O semeador saiu a semear
Jogou a sementinha para a terra cultivar
Um pouco da semente caiu pelo caminho
Vieram os passarinhos começaram a ciscar
Xô, xô, xô, xô, passarinho
Deixa a sementinha para a terra cultivar
Xô, xô, xô, xô, passarinho
Deixa a sementinha para a terra cultivar
Ieô, iê iê iê ieô
Um tanto de semente caiu entre as pedrinhas
Ficaram tão fraquinhas e morreram no calor
Uma outra parte caiu entre os espinhos
E foram sufocadas, espetadas, que horror
Ufa, ufa, ufa, que sol escaldante
Minha sementinha foi ele quem secou
Ufa, ufa, ufa, que espinho petulante
Minha sementinha espetou e sufocou
Então o semeador lançou em boa terra
Enfim a sementinha conseguiu frutificar
Depois multiplicou formando um pomar
E o semeador então pode se alegrar
Tum, tum, tum, o seu coraçãozinho
É a boa terra pra semente florescer
Tum, tum, tum, Jesus lança a semente
Mas só frutifica se de fato você crer
Tum, tum, tum, o seu coraçãozinho
É a boa terra pra semente florescer
Tum, tum, tum, Jesus lança a semente
Mas só frutifica se de fato você crer
Mas só frutifica se de fato você crer
Mas só frutifica se de fato você crer

A Sementinha (O Semeador) Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration
The song "A Sementinha (O Semeador)" by Aline Barros is a track featured on the DVD "Aline Barros e Cia," which was released on February 25, 2022. This musical piece presents a narrative centered around the act of sowing seeds, delivered in a style characteristic of the artist's work aimed at children and families, often incorporating engaging rhythms and clear, message-driven lyrics as presented visually in the DVD format.
The core message of the song draws directly from a well-known biblical parable. It describes a sower who goes out to plant seeds. The lyrics detail different outcomes for the seeds depending on where they land: some fall on a path and are eaten by birds, others fall on rocky ground and wither in the heat, some fall among thorns and are choked, and finally, some fall on good soil and produce a plentiful harvest. This sequence illustrates varying receptiveness to a message or truth being shared.
Interpreting the symbolism, the song identifies the sower as Jesus and the seed as a divine message or word. The different types of ground represent the human heart and its condition. The path, rocky ground, and thorny ground illustrate hearts that are unresponsive, easily discouraged, or preoccupied with worldly concerns, preventing the message from taking root or flourishing. The good soil represents a heart that receives the message and allows it to grow and produce positive results, described as bearing fruit and multiplying. The song concludes by emphasizing that the human heart serves as the potential good soil, and belief is necessary for the seed to germinate and flourish. This mirrors the account found in the Gospel of Matthew chapter 13, verses 1-23, the Gospel of Mark chapter 4, verses 1-20, and the Gospel of Luke chapter 8, verses 4-15, where Jesus explains the Parable of the Sower to his disciples, detailing the meaning behind the different soils and the seed representing the word of God.
