Simbora
Asa de Águia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E o agito da rua chegou
É mais uma noite de festa
Luminosa como sempre agito da Bahia
Lembrando o vaga-lume lá no meio da floresta
Nossa paixão é fogo papai já lhe chamou
Não saia de minissaia que o bicho já pegou
Do jeito que ela bebe ela vai querer
Abre a clareira que ela vai sambar
É samba com galope da Bahia ia ia (bis)
Simbora ê, Simbora ô
lelelele ôo
Simbora ê, Simbora lá
lelelele aa

The singer's father has already warned him about the dangers of passion, and he advises a woman not to wear a miniskirt, as the situation can quickly become chaotic. The lines "Do jeito que ela bebe ela vai querer" suggest that the woman may become drunk and unable to control herself, leading to further trouble.
The refrain "Simbora ê, Simbora ô" encourages everyone to join in and participate in the festivities, and the lively rhythm of the song invites listeners to dance, particularly to the samba with galloping rhythms of Bahia. Overall, the lyrics of Simbora embody the celebration of life and urge people to embrace the excitement and joy of being alive.
