O Regime
Leo Jaime Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

O cara gasta uma fortuna pra engordar
Champagne, lesma, camarão e caviar
Manhã seguinte tem ressaca e depressão
Porque a barriga cresce junto com a inflação

O problema é o regime
Que não dá satisfação
Um gasta os tubos para emagrecer
Enquanto o outro só tem rato pra comer




Questão de gosto, se o problema é suar
Vai ser pião ou pega roupa pra lavar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Leo Jaime's song O Regime talk about the obsession that people have with their weight and body image. The first verse describes someone spending a lot of money on extravagant foods like champagne, shrimp, snails, and caviar just to get fat. And the next morning, this person feels hungover and depressed due to the excess weight gain which comes with the inflation of the stomach. This illustrates the irony of the situation whereby people who spend a lot of money on fancy food to gain weight will then spend even more money on diet programs to lose weight.


The chorus 'O problema é o regime, que não dá satisfação' translates to "the problem is the diet, which doesn't give satisfaction". It implies that people's insistence on losing weight can lead to a feeling of dissatisfaction because no diet plan can guarantee complete happiness. The second verse compares the struggles of people who have an excess of food to those who don't have enough to eat. The lyrics suggest that the issue of body image is a matter of preference, and whether someone is willing to work for it or not.


Overall, Leo Jaime's song O Regime emphasizes the problematic aspect of society's emphasis on bodily appearances. It encourages listeners to recognize that the issue isn't necessarily about physical appearance per se, but about how people feel about themselves, regardless of their weight.
