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 quem um dia só me fez chorar
Chorando estará, ao lembrar de um amor
Que um dia não soube cuidar
Chorando estará, ao lembrar de um amor
Que um dia não soube cuidar
A recordação vai estar com ele aonde for
Dança sol e mar, guardarei no olhar
O amor faz perder e encontrar
Lambando estarei ao lembrar que esse amor
Por um dia, um instante foi rei
A recordação vai estar com ele aonde for
A recordação vai estar pra sempre aonde 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
Dançando lambada!
The lyrics to Kaoma's "La Lambada" describe a love that was not cared for by one party and ultimately ended in tears. The first two lines of the chorus repeat the phrase "Crying (or 'gone') is the one who once only made me cry" to emphasize the pain and heartbreak caused by this failed love. The following lines suggest that the memory of this love will stay with the person wherever they go and that they will always shed tears when they remember the love they once had but failed to take care of.
The lyrics then shift to a more positive tone as they describe the dance of the lambada. The singer says that they will keep the dance's movements and the memories associated with it in their eyes. The next line, "Love makes us lose and find" suggests that this dance can help heal the pain of the lost love. The final lines of the song describe how the lambada dance represents a moment in which the lost love was once king.
Overall, the lyrics to "La Lambada" express the bittersweet feelings of a lost love and suggest that the memories and emotions associated with that love will always stick with the person, even as they try to move on and heal from the pain.
