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.

Ha ha
Morena cintura de mola
Seu jeitinho me faz relaxar
Esquecer essa coisa faceira
Desse jeito não sei o que será
Felizmente morena você na lambada me faz delirar
Dançando lambada ê, dançando lambada
Dançando lambada ê, dançando lambada lá
Dançando lambada ê, dançando lambada
Com jeitinho neguinha me diz
Bem juntinho escorregando dá
De tantos desejos aflitos
Sua pele lisa meu corpo roçar
Dançando lambada ê, dançando lambada lá

The lyrics to Kaoma’s Lambada tell a story of lost love and heartache. The first two lines repeat "Crying is who once made me cry” (translated from Portuguese), referencing an ex-lover who hurt the singer in the past. The next lines continue this theme, saying that this person will cry when they remember the love they let slip through their fingers. The singer notes that this memory will always be with them, no matter where they go.
The chorus takes a more positive turn, with the singer saying that they will remember the love they shared through dance, specifically lambada. The lambada is described as a dance of sun and sea, and it will stay forever in their eyes as a reminder of the love they lost and found. The last line, “A love that was king for a day, a moment that stays in the air,” sums up the fleeting nature of their relationship.
Overall, Lambada is a bittersweet song that reflects on the highs and lows of love. It is a catchy tune that invites listeners to dance and feel the passion of the lyrics.

Chorando se foi quem um dia só me fez chorar
Crying is the one who once made me cry
Chorando estará ao lembrar de um amor / Que um dia não soube cuidar
Still crying when remembering a love that once wasn't cared for
A recordação vai estar com ele aonde for
The memory will always be with him no matter where he goes
Dança sol e mar, guardarei no olhar / O amor faz perder e encontrar
Dancing under the sun and sea, I will keep the love in my eyes / love makes you lose and find
Lambando estarei ao lembrar que esse amor / Por um dia, um instante foi rei
Lambada dancing while remembering that this love / for one day, one moment was a king
Canção riso e dor, melodia de amor / Um momento que fica no ar
Song of laughter and pain, melody of love / a moment that lingers in the air
