Christafari - Porque Procuras? ('em Portugués) Lyrics
Lyrics
Ahh ohh Ya ya ya (skitiyap bop bop ba oh). Ahh oh ya ya ya ya ya
(a skitiyap bop bop baa hey!).
Na multidao das aguas...
o tolo tera sede
Porque procuras o que vive entre os mortos
Porque procuras o que vive entre os mortos
Deixando o que muitos profetas em sabedoria disseram.
No entanto...
Ainda buscas o que vive entres mortos
Me diga o que eles fazem
Trocando o Senhor pela palavra
Trocando o Criador pelo profeta
Trocando o Rei dos reis por outro rei.
Louvando um cantor ao vez do Senhor
Porque procuras o que vive entre os mortos
Porque procuras o que vive entre os mortos
Trocando o que muitos profetas em sabedoria disseram.
No entanto...
Ainda buscas o que vive entres mortos.
Me diga o que eles fazem
O tolo tera sede ainda que a agua possa ter.
O que e preciso para um cego ver?
A Sarsa Ardente resplandece em voce
Ate que veja o que o Pai vos fez.
Wa yo yo yo yo
Wa yo yo yo yo
Wa yo yo yo yo
Wa yo!
Porque procuras o que vive entre os mortos
Porque procuras o que vive entre os mortos
Vivendo o que muitos profetas em sabedoria disseram.
No entanto...
Ainda buscas o que vive entres mortos.
Me diga o que eles fazem.
Trocando o Senhor pela palavra
Trocando o Criador pelo profeta
Trocando o Rei dos reis por outro rei.
Louvando um cantor ao vez do Senhor!
Porque procuras o que vive entre os mortos
Porque procuras o que vive entre os mortos
Adorando profetas e homes porem passados
Estao mortos...
Ainda buscas o que vive entres mortos
Me diga o que eles fazem
A fool ago thirst. (wa yo yo yo yo)
Roll away roll away.
A fool ago thirst. (wa yo yo yo yo)
Roll away the stone (Luke 24:2).
A fool ago thirst. (wa yo yo yo yo)
Roll away roll away.
A fool ago thirst. (wa yo yo yo yo)
For Christ is gone (Luke 24:3.
A fool ago thirst!

Porque Procuras? ('em Portugués)
Meaning & Inspiration
Christafari's "Porque Procuras?" from their 2000 album *Palabra Sonido Y Poder* is a powerful call to spiritual discernment, directly addressing the misguided pursuit of things that are ultimately lifeless and empty. The song's central theme is the folly of searching for fulfillment in the dead, a concept deeply rooted in biblical narratives and teachings. The title itself, meaning "Why do you search?" in Portuguese, sets a questioning and challenging tone, urging listeners to examine their spiritual pursuits. The lyrics draw a stark contrast between seeking the living Savior and clinging to that which is deceased, referencing the emptiness of rituals or beliefs disconnected from Christ's resurrection. This resonates profoundly with the disciples' confusion as articulated in Luke 24, where they questioned why the living God would be sought among the dead. The song boldly declares that true wisdom, as conveyed by prophets throughout scripture, points towards life, not death. It critiques the act of "exchanging the Lord for the word," "the Creator for the prophet," or "the King of kings for another king," and even "praising a singer instead of the Lord." This speaks to a fundamental spiritual misdirection, where the focus shifts from the divine source of life to intermediaries or even transient human accolades. The imagery of a "fool [who] will thirst" even when water is available powerfully illustrates this spiritual drought that results from looking in the wrong places. The song offers a solution, hinting at divine revelation and transformative encounter, as evidenced by the line, "The Burning Bush shines in you, until you see what the Father has made you." This alludes to God's self-revelation and the awakening that comes through His Spirit, echoing the transformation experienced by those who encountered the living God. The repeated call to "Roll away the stone" directly references the empty tomb in Luke 24:2, signifying the removal of obstacles to recognizing Christ's resurrection and His living presence. By emphasizing that "Christ is gone" from the tomb, the song reiterates the central tenet of Christianity: His victory over death and His present, active life. "Porque Procuras?" is not just a song; it's a sermon set to music, a challenge to embrace the vibrant truth of a Risen Savior and to abandon the futile search for life in the shadows of what has passed.
