The group has recorded 13 studio albums, 3 live albums and 2 live DVDs. They have composed many Brazilian pop-rock hits throughout their 30+ year career. They are regarded by the press and colleagues in the music business to be a real "hit factory".

History

The group was formed in late 1981 under the name Kid Abelha & Os Abóboras Selvagens (Kid Bee and the Wild Pumpkins), with the current members and Leoni. In 1982 they recorded a demotape with the track Distração (Distraction), which achieved excellent airplay on Brazilian radios, and debuted on the compilation album Rock Voador (Flying Rock), together with other new Brazilian rock bands.

In 1984 the band released their first album, Seu Espião (Your Spy), including among others the classics Pintura Íntima (Intimate Painting), Fixação (Attachment) and Como Eu Quero (The way I want). This LP attained the first gold record of the new generation of Brazilian artists.

In 1985, the band performed live at the first Rock in Rio, an experience described by the band as an "admission exam" into business. At the same concert, Leoni's departure was also announced.

In 2016, Kid Abelha officially announced they were disbanding. Their official website at http://www.kidabelha.com.br is no longer updated.

Deve Ser Amor
Kid Abelha Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Não fosse amor, não haveria planos
Como uma onda quebraria cedo
Fosse um momento, não faria estragos
Eu não estaria no chão, não, não

Não fosse amor, não causaria medo
Feito um brinquedo cansaria logo
Fosse ilusão não traria tanta saudade

E eu não choraria no chão, então

Deve ser amor, deve ser, então
Deve ser amor, deve ser, amor.

Não fosse amor, não duraria tanto
A chama de um Banho-Maria brando
Fosse passado não passaria corrente
E eu não chamaria de amor, eu não

Deve ser amor, deve ser, então
Deve ser amor, deve ser, amor

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Deve Ser Amor" by Kid Abelha talk about the power and intensity of love. The first verse talks about how without love, there would be no plans and no reason to keep going. Love is compared to a wave that would break early if it wasn't for its strength and force. If it was just a fleeting moment, it wouldn't cause any damage, and the singer wouldn't be on the ground feeling so devastated.

The second verse explores further the idea that without love, we wouldn't feel scared or lost. Love is again compared to a toy that would quickly lose its appeal if it wasn't for the emotional impact it has on us. The feeling of saudade, a Portuguese word that describes a deep nostalgia or longing, wouldn't be so powerful if it wasn't for love. And the singer wouldn't be crying on the ground if it wasn't for the intensity of the feeling.

Overall, the song suggests that love is responsible for the highs and lows of our emotional lives. It is a force that can lead to great happiness and also great pain, but without it, life wouldn't be worth living.
