Lambada is a dance from Pará, Brazil, of African origin. The dance became internationally popular in the 1980s, especially in Latin America and Caribbean countries. It has adopted aspects of dances such as forró, salsa, merengue, maxixe and the carimbó.
Lambada is generally a partner dance. The dancers generally dance with arched legs, with the steps being from side to side, turning or even swaying, and in its original form never front to back, with a pronounced movement of the hips. At the time when the dance became popular, short skirts for women were in fashion and men wore long trousers, and the dance has become associated with such clothing, especially for women wearing short skirts that swirl up when the woman spins around, typically revealing 90s-style thong underwear.
Chorando Se Foi
Kaoma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quem um dia só me fez chorar
Chorando se foi
Quem um dia só me fez chorar
Chorando estará
Ao lembrar de um amor que um dia
Não soube cuidar
Ao lembrar de um amor que um dia
Não soube cuidar
A recordação vai estar com ele aonde for
A recordação vai estar pra sempre aonde for
Dança, sol e mar guardarei no olhar
O amor faz perder e encontrar
Lambando estarei ao lembrar que este amor
Por um dia, um instante foi rei
A recordação vai estar com ele aonde for
A recordação vai estar pra sempre aonde eu for
Chorando estará ao lembrar de um amor
Que um dia não soube cuidar
Canção, riso e dor, melodia de amor
Um momento que fica no ar
Ai, ai, ai
Dançando lambada
The lyrics to Kaoma's song "Chorando Se Foi" describe the pain of a lost love. The singer is crying over someone who once made them cry. The person who caused them pain will also be crying, as they remember a love that they didn't know how to take care of. The memories of this lost love will always be with both of them, no matter where they go. The singer reflects on the beauty of life, with its dancing, sun, and sea, but ultimately it is the love that can make us both lose and find ourselves.
The repetition of the phrase "chorando se foi" emphasizes the feeling of loss and heartbreak. The lyrics also use the phrase "recordação vai estar," which means "memory will be." This phrase suggests that even though the love is gone, the memories will always be with us. The use of the Portuguese phrase "lambando estarei" adds to the playful and danceable nature of the song.
