Som De Bob
Natiruts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quando eu fechei os olhos ouvindo o som de Bob tocar
Nessa tarde de calor (Oh, Oh)
Só quero cantar e dançar
Ouvindo esse som que vem dos elementos da natureza
Verde, amarelo e vermelho representando a unificação
Dos povos africanos, fazendo uma só nação
Na batida desse som (Oh, Oh)
Que vem para nos falar
Na batida desse som (Oh, Oh)
Que vem para nos falar
Do amor, da emoção, da liberdade
E de paz para todos os irmão
The lyrics of Natiruts's song "Som De Bob" depict the sensation of losing oneself in the music, setting the mind free and succumbing to the beat. The line "a minha alma foi passear" (my soul went for a walk) portrays the idea of feeling transported by the rhythm of the song, transcending everyday life and experiencing a spiritual dimension. The reference to Bob Marley in the song's title represents the reggae icon's influence on the band's music and the cultural legacy of Jamaican music.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the power of music to unite people across nationalities, ethnicities, and languages. The colors green, yellow, and red connect to the flag of Ethiopia, which inspired the Rastafarian movement and Marley's affiliation with it. The song suggests that music, as an expression of love, emotion, and freedom, can have a transformative impact on individuals and societies.
Overall, Natiruts's "Som De Bob" celebrates the connection between music and spirituality, emphasizing the potential for music to foster unity and social change.
