Aline Barros - A Sementinha (O Semeador) Lyrics
Lyrics
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

Meaning & 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.
