Since their beginning in April 2001, Mombojó has been collecting important experiences for the actual work of the band. In 2002 Mombojó was in one of the most important festivals in Brazil, and received great reviews from the press for their concert in the 10th Abril Pro Rock.
In 2003, the band was benefited by Pernambuco's government to record their first Album: Nadadenovo. Recorded and mixed in Recife by Igor Medeiros and Mad Mud (Leo D & William P), and mastered in São Paulo (Classic Master), the album soon got public and media attention. Nadadenovo has fifteen tracks with many local folk influences, local instruments and electronic samples.
On July 6th, 2007 Rafael (aka "O Rafa"), 24 years old, the trombone and flute player, who was always by the side of Marcelo Campello, passed away from a heart attack.
Estático
Mombojó Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se eu choro é por causa de você
Se eu deixo os dias passarem assim
É porque perdi a vontade de viver
Alegre ou triste o que é que vai mudar em mim
Se eu choro é por causa de você
É porque perdi a vontade de viver
Alegre ou triste o que é que vai mudar
Se você ainda quer estar
Nos dias que já passaram, não sei
Mas sobrou pra mim
Permaneço aqui estático
Não vale mesmo a pena não
Levantar e ver
the day
Se você já se foi
The lyrics to Mombojó's song Estático express the feelings of a person who has lost all motivation to live life to the fullest after a heartbreak. The phrase "Não vale mesmo a pena não" (It's not even worth it) is repeated several times throughout the song, suggesting that the person feels like nothing they do can change their current situation. They acknowledge that their current state of being is a result of the person who broke their heart and that they have lost the desire to experience both joy and sadness in life. The lyrics suggest that the person is still attached to their past relationship and is not sure if the other person feels the same way. The phrase "Permaneço aqui estático" (I remain static here) signifies that the person is not willing to move on from their heartbreak and is stuck in a limbo of emotions.
