The name Raimundos is derived from one of their greatest influences, the Ramones.
The band was formed in the late 80s by Rodolfo Abrantes (vocals), Digão (guitars), Canisso (bass) and Fred (drums). After doing some demo tapes, they released their first record by Banguela Records:
Raimundos (1994).
Raimundos became popular among the younger audience because of their "weird" appearance and their funny and sarcastic lyrics, full of profanity and slang. They broke into MTV Brazil, making their first hits "Selim" and "Puteiro em João Pessoa".
Lavô tá Novo was released in 1995, and became the most successful act of those days. "I Saw Your Saying (That You Say that You Saw)", one of the hit singles of their records, dealt with a fictitious meeting with Madonna. Other singles like "Esporrei na Manivela" and "Eu Quero Ver o Oco" easily appeared on radios and MTV.
It was followed by Cesta Básica (1996), a rarities album and then Lapadas do Povo (1997). "Lapadas" was heavier than the previous albums, changing the usual "forrocore" style of the band. "Andar na Pedra" became the most known music of the album.
Só no Forévis (1999) became the most sold album of the band, and made Raimundos known by audiences other than the ones which usually patronized them. "Mulher de Fases", "A Mais Pedida", "Me Lambe" e "Aquela" went to the top positions of the charts and MTV. The name of the album was a "spoof" on popular Brazilian music styles (including the members of the band dressed as a "pagode" group).
The last record with the original line-up was MTV ao Vivo, a live album recorded for MTV, with all their hits and some covers. The album included a cover of "20 e Poucos Anos", from brazilian popular artist Fábio Jr.. The song became the theme of MTV's reality show "20 e Poucos Anos" ([loosely translated as 20 something] the Brazilian version of "The Real World"). The song was recorded in studio.
2001 saw the dismissal of Rodolfo from the band. Converted into an Evangelical Christian, he decided to quit the band because his life wouldn't fit anymore with the band itself. He formed in the same year Rodox, a christian rock/hardcore band, like Raimundos, but with more "christian-like" messages in the songs. The remaining members released Éramos 4 (translated as "we used to be 4") in the same year.
The name was directly related to Rodolfo being gone from the band. It included 13 Ramones covers and "Sanidade", song originally recorded in the earlier times of the band, featuring Digão in the vocals. Some people say that the song was included there as an "answer" to Rodolfo.
In the same year, Digão decided to definitely assume the vocals and call Marquinho, who was in the underground band Peter Perfeito. In 2002 the new formation released Kavookavala. Putting into the sound more hardcore influences, the album wasn't so successful as the others, but the reputation of the band wouldn't be damaged. Canisso left the band in 2002, saying that he was tired of being with the band. Alf, vocalist of Rumbora, was brought in to be the bassist.
The last release of the band was an independent EP .Qq cOisAh EP, in 2005. The band still tours around Brazil, showing their hits and new songs, apart from the fact of some fans being more attuned with the original and most famous line-up of the band.

Raimundos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se lá dentro é que tá quente?
Quando encontrar com ela
Vou deixar a marca dos dente
Vou voltar pra ver o filme da metade
Isso passa todo dia bem em frente
Pode sentar no colo
De olho fechado eu mordo forte, ela nem sente
Que raiva do avião que te levou daqui
Ela me diz "é tarde e mertiolate arde que só"
O cheiro me faz dormir (sempre)
Sem você na cidade, tudo que tem lá também sumiu
Diz que horas são, que eu vou dormir
Linda, tudo que eu vejo é verde
Menina, gente grande é a minha mão (a minha mão)
Ninar você na minha rede
Pra gente se encontrar num sonho bom
De olho fechado eu mordo forte, ela nem sente
De volta no avião, eu vou subir
Ela me diz "é tarde e quando voltar vai ser melhor"
A gente nem vai dormir (nunca)
De volta na cidade eu vou acelerando a mais de mil
Diz que horas são, que eu vou subir
The song "Bonita" by Raimundos is about a man who is deeply in love with a woman who has left him, but he still longs for her. He questions why he should stay away when it's inside of him that is warm, even when he sees her again, he wants to make his mark on her. The lyrics suggest that the man is willing to do anything to be close to his lover, even if it means being discrete in public. Moreover, he wants to rekindle the relationship with his girlfriend, as he recalls a time when they watched a movie together, and he wants to do it again. He misses the companionship of his lover, and he alludes to how without her, he feels a void where everything around him has disappeared. The singer is fixated on his girlfriend, and it is clear that he wants to be with her, no matter what.
The song is thematically about the ups and downs of relationships, particularly when they don't go as planned. It is a reflection of the pain and hurt that comes with the termination of a relationship. In conclusion, "Bonita" by Raimundos showcases the power and complexity of love and how it can possess someone, even after a break-up.

Pra que deixar de fora
Why leave it out?
Se lá dentro é que tá quente?
When it's warm inside?
Quando encontrar com ela
When I meet her
Vou deixar a marca dos dentes
I'll leave my teeth marks
Vou voltar pra ver o filme da metade
I'll come back to finish the movie
Isso passa todo dia bem em frente
It passes by every day right in front of me
Pode sentar no colo
You can sit on my lap
Que aqui ninguém vê a gente
No one can see us here
De olho fechado eu mordo forte, ela nem sente
With my eyes closed I bite hard, she doesn't even feel it
Que raiva do avião que te levou daqui
How angry I am at the plane that took you away from here
Ela me diz 'é tarde e mertiolate arde que só'
She tells me 'it's late and the antiseptic hurts so much'
O cheiro me faz dormir (sempre)
The smell makes me sleep (always)
Sem você na cidade, tudo que tem lá também sumiu
Without you in the city, everything there has disappeared too
Diz que horas são, que eu vou dormir
Tell me what time it is, I'm going to sleep
Linda, tudo que eu vejo é verde
Beautiful, all I see is green
Menina, gente grande é a minha mão (a minha mão)
Girl, my hand is grown-up (my hand)
Ninar você na minha rede
Rock you in my hammock
Pra gente se encontrar num sonho bom
So we can meet in a good dream
De volta no avião, eu vou subir
Getting back on the plane, I'll board
Ela me diz 'é tarde e quando voltar vai ser melhor'
She tells me 'it's late and when we come back it'll be better'
A gente nem vai dormir (nunca)
We won't even sleep (never)
De volta na cidade eu vou acelerando a mais de mil
Back in the city I'll speed up to a thousand
Diz que horas são, que eu vou subir
Tell me what time it is, I'm going to board
