Aline Barros - Quem Era O Menininho Lyrics
Lyrics
Vocês vão conhecer um menininho (unhé!)
Nasceu e era bem pequenininho (ai que fofinho, gente!)
Mas ninguém sabia que ele era o escolhido
Pra tirar todos seus amigos do Egito
Quem era o menininho (quem?)
Era Moisés!
Quem era o menininho?
Era Moisés! (isso mesmo!)
Aquele menininho era Moisés
E foi um campeão
Que Deus levantou
Para a grande nação
E o preparou para os guiar até Canaã
O bebê escondido dentro de um cestinho (ai, que lindo!)
Desceu pelas correntezas do Rio Nilo (chuá)
Quem o encontrou foi a filha de Faraó
Que o levou pra criar junto com seu filho (uau!)
Aquele bebezinho era Moisés
Aquele menininho era Moisés
Cresceu e ficou homem
E foi Moisés um grande campeão
Que Deus levantou para a grande nação
E o preparou para os guiar...
Fez abrir o mar, para Israel passar
E cada amigo seu fez atravessar...
Quero ser como Moisés, um grande campeão!
Quero ser como Moisés, forte e sabidão!
Quero ser como Moisés e obedecer as Leis!
Quero ser como Moisés, amigo de Deus!
Aquele bebezinho era Moisés
Aquele menininho era Moisés
Cresceu e ficou homem
E foi Moisés um grande campeão
Fez abrir o mar para Israel passar
E cada amigo seu fez atravessar...
Lálálálálá...
Faraó perdeu, desobedeceu a Deus!
Faraó perdeu, e não era sabichão! Não! Não!
Faraó perdeu, não ouviu a voz de Deus!
Faraó perdeu, e não é meu amigo não!

Meaning & Inspiration
Aline Barros’s 2019 release, "Quem Era O Menininho" from the album *Cia 3*, is a profound exploration of identity and destiny, rooted deeply in the narrative of Jesus Christ. This track isn't just a song; it’s a theological journey that unpacks the incredible truth of Christ's earthly presence and eternal significance. The core question posed, "Who was the little boy?", immediately invites reflection on the divine child who walked among us, challenging our preconceptions and revealing God’s immense love.
The story behind and the meaning of "Quem Era O Menininho" centers on recognizing the Messiah in the unassuming child, Jesus. It articulates the astonishment and awe that would have accompanied encountering the Son of God in human form, especially as He grew and fulfilled prophecy. The song’s message echoes the wonder expressed by those who encountered Jesus throughout His ministry, such as the wise men, who, having followed the star, "rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house they saw the treasure with the precious mother and father, and falling down they adored him" (Matthew 2:10-11). It speaks to the inherent divinity within the man Jesus, a truth that transforms our understanding of human potential and divine interaction. The lyrics encourage us to see beyond the ordinary to perceive the extraordinary presence of God in the most humble of beginnings, mirroring how the disciples themselves grappled with Jesus' identity, as seen when Peter confessed, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God" (Matthew 16:16).
In analyzing the message, the song powerfully conveys the redemptive purpose woven into Jesus' life from its inception. The "little boy" was destined for a monumental task, a truth alluded to in Isaiah's prophecy: "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6). This verse perfectly encapsulates the multifaceted nature of the child Jesus that "Quem Era O Menininho" seeks to unveil. The song highlights how this same child, who experienced human life fully, also held the divine authority and power to save. It’s a reminder that God’s plan for humanity’s salvation was enacted through the very human experience of His Son, a concept central to Christian faith and articulated by Paul in Philippians 2:6-8: "[Christ Jesus], though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." This humility in His earthly form, and the ultimate sacrifice, is the very essence of the message being amplified by Barros. The song thus serves as a vibrant testament to faith, urging listeners to embrace the profound mystery and love embodied in the person of Jesus Christ.
