Aline Barros - Não Me Calarei Lyrics
Lyrics
Eu sei porque eu vivo
Eu sei pra quem eu canto
Ninguém jamais vai me enganar
Eu sei quem sou em Cristo
Ouvi a voz do mestre
Eu vou anunciar a salvação
Eu não vou parar meus pés
Eu não vou calar minha voz
Continuo a cantar
Não me calarei
Subirei o monte
Descerei ao vale
E o meu Deus me guiará
Vou saltar muralhas e vencer gigantes
Eu não quero mais parar
Mesmo no deserto eu não tenho medo
Pois eu sei a quem clamar
Eu não vou parar meus pés
Eu não vou calar minha voz
Eu não vou parar meus pés
Eu não vou calar minha voz
Eu vou obedecer a voz do meu Senhor

Não Me Calarei - CD Extraordinário Amor de Deus - Aline Barros
Meaning & Inspiration
Aline Barros’s powerful anthem, “Não Me Calarei” (I Will Not Be Silenced), released as part of her live album *Extraordinário Amor de Deus* in 2011, is a profound declaration of unwavering faith and commitment to proclaiming the Gospel. This song doesn't just entertain; it ignites a fire within the listener, urging them to stand firm in their beliefs and share the transformative message of salvation with the world. The very title speaks volumes, signaling a resolute refusal to be silenced, a stance deeply rooted in the spiritual certainty of knowing God intimately. Barros’s declaration, "Eu sei porque eu vivo, Eu sei pra quem eu canto" (I know why I live, I know for whom I sing), echoes the Apostle Paul's assertion in 1 Corinthians 9:16, where he states, "For if I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!" This compelling drive stems from a personal encounter with Christ, as Barros expresses, "Eu sei quem sou em Cristo, Ouvi a voz do mestre" (I know who I am in Christ, I heard the master’s voice). This intimate knowledge of one's identity in Christ and the direct hearing of His voice are the bedrock upon which the conviction to speak out is built, a theme resonating with Jesus' own words in John 10:27, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me."
The core of "Não Me Calarei" is its unwavering resolve not to cease in spiritual pursuit or vocal witness. The repeated refrain, "Eu não vou parar meus pés, Eu não vou calar minha voz" (I will not stop my feet, I will not silence my voice), is a potent commitment mirroring the steadfastness called for throughout Scripture. This isn't a passive faith; it's an active, journeying faith. The imagery of ascending mountains and descending valleys, "Subirei o monte, Descerei ao vale" (I will ascend the mountain, I will descend into the valley), signifies a willingness to navigate all circumstances, highs and lows, knowing that divine guidance is assured: "E o meu Deus me guiará" (And my God will guide me). This assurance finds its parallel in Psalm 23:4, "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." Furthermore, the audacious spirit to "saltar muralhas e vencer gigantes" (jump walls and overcome giants) speaks to the supernatural strength believers receive from God, reminiscent of David’s confrontation with Goliath, empowered by faith. The declaration, "Mesmo no deserto eu não tenho medo, Pois eu sei a quem clamar" (Even in the desert I am not afraid, because I know whom to call), reinforces the profound trust in God's presence and intervention even in barren, challenging times, much like the Israelites in their wilderness journey, who were continually sustained by God’s faithfulness. Ultimately, "Não Me Calarei" is a powerful testament to obedience and the unshakeable courage that comes from a deep, personal relationship with God, urging every believer to embrace their role as a witness and to let their voice ring out with the good news of salvation.
