From the beginning, the songs called the attention of soap opera producers, and the track “Encontros Amargos” was the song of an important character in “Cara e Coroa”, from Globo TV. The same happened with “Garotas do Brasil”, which became the official soundtrack of “Malhação”, also from Globo TV. In a great MTV meeting in Porto Alegre at the Gigantinho Stadium, famous Latin artists as “Café Tacuba” from Mexico, Ilia Kuriaki and Los Valderramas from Argentina and Aterciopelados from Colombia could prove the power of this continent music during an alive transmission for MTV Brasil and MTV Latin America. As a result from the success with public, the song “Viajar” was chosen for a radio and TV campaign for Iguatemi Shopping Center that aired for a whole
year. The band was chosen by Coca-Cola to play the official Brazilian summer theme. The producers of the movie “Houve Uma Vez Dois Verões” chose the song “No Calor da Hora” as its soundtrack.
Besides the shows, other events can be remembered as historical for the band. In Imbé there were one hundred thousand people when the band played with “Los Pericos” and “Tim Maia”. During New Year’s Eve in Torres there were 350 thousand people, at the “Anfiteatro Pôr-do-Sol” in Porto Alegre there were 50 thousand. In the same place playing next to “Skank” there were 70 thousand people. Papas da Língua is the band with more participation in “Planeta Atlântida” festival for six times with an average of 300 thousand people.
National and international classic remakes are considered a challenge. In “Xa-la-lá” the singer Serginho Moah showed his ability in BJ Thomas’s “Rock'n’Roll Lullaby”. In “Babybum” the chosen song was Caetano Veloso’s “Baby” In the fourth album, the song “Sorte”, which is famous for the interpretations of Caetano and Gal, was performed with Adriana Calcanhoto, and the famous Ramones’ “Pet Sematary” received a reggae roots rhythm.
From the first CD “Papas da Língua” the songs “Democracy” and “Música para Dançar” were chosen. “Xa-la-lá” brought “Garotas do Brasil”, made in Rio de Janeiro and “Viajar” in São Paulo. “Babybum” presented the videos of “Vou Ligar” and “Eu sei” which gathered some images of the band during the shows, the talent of the director René Goya and the edition of pure emotion images. “Lua Cheia/Fica Doida” turned into a clip from the fourth CD “Um Dia de Sol”.
Lots of famous artists recorded Papas da Língua songs. The baiano singer Netinho chose “Tentação” and “Garotas do Brasil”. Pedro Mariano, (Elis Regina’s son) picked out “Lua pra Guardar” and “Encontros Amargos” that became his first work song. The same happened with the singer Rosana.
In a memorable fall weekend, on April 30, May 1st and 2nd, Papas da Língua recorded the CD and DVD “Papas da Língua ao Vivo Acústico” in São Pedro Theather, considered a Holy Temple for Porto Alegre. Three presentations were first planned, but as a result of the speed they were sold out, an extra performance was quickly scheduled for the next day, also sold out. The show had special guests and outrageous sound, light and scenery structures.
“Papas da Língua ao Vivo Acústico” CD and DVD were available in October 2004. It is a look back on 10 years of Papas da Língua featured by Orbeat Music in classic and new songs.

Papas Da Língua Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eta vidinha da boa, ela me chama
Tira uma onda comigo, me leva na boa
Cama de gata, parece dona
Eta vidinha sacana, ela é à toa
Nanana nanaranah
Ela se amarra, ela viaja na dela
Olha menina danada, não me dá bola
Anda comigo, parece que vai rolar
Vira essa lua lá fora, que ela vai embora
Lua cheia fica doida
Lua cheia vamos namorar
Lua nova vida boa
Lua nova ela quer casar
Nanana nanaranah
Ela diz que me ama, mas não pode ficar
Meus amigos me dizem, ela é estranha
Ela desaparece, e diz que não vai voltar
Vira essa lua lá fora, ela me devora
Lua cheia fica doida
Lua cheia vamos namorar
Lua nova vida boa
Lua nova ela quer casar
Lua cheia fica doida
Lua cheia vamos namorar
Lua nova vida boa
Lua nova ela quer casar
Nanana nanaranah
Eta vidinha da boa, ela me chama
Tira uma onda comigo, me leva na boa
Cama de gata, parece dona
Eta vidinha sacana, ela é à toa
Lua cheia fica doida
Lua cheia vamos namorar
Lua nova vida boa
Lua nova ela quer casar
Lua cheia fica doida
Lua cheia vamos namorar
Lua nova vida boa
Lua nova ela quer casar
Nanana nanaranah
Eta vidinha sacana
The lyrics of "Lua Cheia" by Papas da Língua are all about a carefree and hedonistic lifestyle, embodied by a woman who leads the singer into wild, passionate nights under the full moon. At the start of the song, the singer describes this "good life" that the woman offers him, beckoning him to ride this wave with her. He's enraptured by her, and it's obvious that she's the one calling the shots in their relationship. Despite her apparent love for him, there is a sense of impermanence to their connection, as the singer's friends warn him that this woman is trouble and she often disappears without warning. But for now, as long as the moon is full, the singer is willing to overlook these doubts and immerse himself in the excitement that his lover brings.
Throughout "Lua Cheia," the full moon is mentioned several times as a symbol of the woman's wild nature and the fervent passion that comes with it. The refrain repeats the phrase "lua cheia fica doida" ("full moon goes crazy") as if to suggest that the singer is similarly overcome by her power, and that he is willing to follow her wherever she leads. The verses, meanwhile, focus on the singer's more grounded approach to their relationship, as he struggles with his feelings for her and tries to make sense of the mixed signals she's sending. Ultimately, though, the song is less concerned with the specifics of their love affair than with the intoxicating feeling of being swept up in someone else's world.
