M.T.A. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the land of the sunshine
People know how to groove
Making emotions
Believin' in what they do

Kalimba De Luna
Take me tonight
Show me the way
To get right on time

E.O.U.A., on the rhythm
Gente li ta los
E.O.U.A., on the rhythm
Gente li ta los

Na na na na na na

Kalimba De Luna
Kalimba De Luna
Kalimba De Luna
Kalimba De Luna

Kalimba De Sol
Please talk to me
Lying is my life
Believin' in what you say
Hey, he, he, he, hey, ooh, oh, oh

E.O.U.A., on the rhythm
Gente li ta los

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to M.T.A.'s song "Kalimba" convey a sense of joy and celebration in a sunny and vibrant land. The opening lines suggest that the people in this land have a deep understanding of how to groove, to move with the rhythm and express themselves through dance and music. They are portrayed as individuals who are deeply connected to their emotions and fully believe in what they are doing.


The repeated chorus of "Kalimba De Luna" serves as an invitation, a call to be taken on a journey. The Kalimba, a musical instrument also known as a thumb piano, is used as a symbol of the music and culture of this land. By asking it to show the way and to get right on time, the singer is expressing a desire to be connected with the rhythm and energy of this place.


The verses are filled with chants and repeated phrases, emphasizing the infectious nature of the music and the spirit it evokes. The use of nonsensical syllables like "E.O.U.A." and "na na na" further adds to the overall joyous and playful tone of the song. The final lines, "Donga, donga, tenge, popopo," are likely meant to be onomatopoeic sounds, adding to the rhythmic energy of the song.
