A Moda Do Oriente
Axé Bahia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A moda no oriente
É muito diferente
Não dá pra se mostrar
Mais dá pra insinuar

O swing oriental
É muito sensual
Não dá pra requebrar
Mais dá pra apaixionar

Karate
Tae Kondo
Tem saque
Arigato
Tem sushi
Kimono
Tem sumo

Eu vou viajar, de avião
Vou de avião, vou de avião
Eu danço em Bangkok
Em Bangkok, em Bangkok
De shopping em Hong Kong
Em Hong Kong,em Hong Kong




Namoro no Japão
No Japão, no Japão

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Axé Bahia's "A Moda Do Oriente" describe the differences between the fashion, music, and culture of the Orient and those of the West. The singer notes that the style in the East is very different and cannot be shown off, but it can be implied. The eastern swing is very sensual but it cannot be twisted, it can, however, make somebody fall in love. The song also makes mention of elements of eastern culture, such as karate, tae kwon do, kimono, sushi, and sumo.


The song talks about the allure of the Orient, and the singer expresses a desire to travel there, to experience the culture first hand. The chorus, "Eu vou viajar, de avião. Vou de avião, vou de avião", translates to "I'm going to travel by air. I'll go by plane, I'll go by plane".


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of fascination with the Orient, but also a recognition of the cultural differences that exist between the East and the West.

Hace 4 años pregunté qué había pasado con ellos y un año después (en 2013) hicieron un reencuentro muy exitoso en Chile que duró hasta 2014. En 2015 se separaron de nuevo y justo ahce una semana murió Jefferson de manera muy trágica :(
