Amar e bom

Amar e bom, e bom demais

Vai chegando o povo

Balancando o corpo

Dende de iaia
Todo dia tem foguete
Alegria de montao
Quando o chiclete passa
Eu jogo fora a solidao
Acorda Jose
Levanta Maria
O O O O
E festa de noite e festa de dia
O O O O
Acorda Jose
Levanta Maria
Levanta que o dia vai comecar
The song "Amar É Bom" by Chiclete Com Banana has a light-hearted and joyous feel to it. The lyrics are repetitive and are centered on the joy of love, which is symbolized by the word "ouro," which means "gold" in Portuguese. The opening lines, "Amar e bom, amar e bom, o ouro, o ouro" can be loosely translated to "Love is good, love is good, gold, gold." The repetition of these lines emphasizes the idea that love is valuable and something to be cherished.
The song also talks about the excitement that comes with love. The lyrics "Vai mexendo o molho, vai chegando o povo" can be translated to "The sauce is stirring, people are arriving," which creates an image of a festivity or celebration. As the song progresses, the lyrics describe a woman dancing and swaying her body to the rhythm, inviting the people to join her. The use of the phrase "Dende de iaia" in the chorus adds to the festive and cultural undertones of the song.
Towards the end of the song, the lyrics urge people to wake up and start their day, hinting at the fact that love isn't just a night-time affair but something to be enjoyed every day. The line "Quando o chiclete passa, eu jogo fora a solidao" translates to "When Chiclete passes, I throw away my loneliness," indicating that the band's music is an escape from the mundane and a source of joy for the listener.
