Right after that Simonal became one of the main artists of that time, with the hits "Meu Limão, Meu Limoeiro", "Mamãe Passou Açúcar em Mim" e "Sá Marina". At some point, Simonal was accused of collaborating with the Brazilian military regime (1964-85), which, some claim, took him away from the public during the 80s and 90s. And he came back with the album "A Bossa de Wilson Simonal". He died on July, 2000.
The year of 2009 may well be remembered as an important milestone in Simonal's artistic redemption - albeit again resurfacing his and his family's tragic personal lives. The documentary "Simonal - Ninguem Sabe O Duro Que Dei" and its soundtrack, together with Ricardo Alexandre's biography "A Vida E O Veneno De Wilson Simonal" were released during the year. Also, his sons Simoninha and Max De Castro produced and hosted an incredible live tribute "O Baile Do Simona" at Vivo Rio - which is expected to soon be released as a CD/DVD combo. Guest appearances by several of Brazil's current musical icons pay their dues to one of the most unfairly treated artists in that country during the ugly years of military rule and inconsequent political behavior - on both sides of the spectrum, left and right...
Lobo Bobo
Wilson Simonal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que resolveu jantar alguem
Estava sem vintem
Mas arriscou
E logo se estrepou
Um chapeuzinho de maio
Ouviu buzina e nao parou
Mas lobo mau insiste
Mas chapeuzinho ouviu
Os conselhos da vovo
Dizer que nao pra lobo
Que com lobo nao sai só
Lobo canta, pede promete
Tudo ate amor
E diz que fraco de lobo
É ver um chapeuzinho de maio
Chapeuzinho percebeu
Que o lobo mau se derreteu
Pra vez voces que lobo
Tambem faz pápel de bobo
So posso lhe dizer
Chapeuzinho agora traz
Um lobo na coleira que
Nao janta nunca mais
Lobo bobo.......
The lyrics to Wilson Simonal’s song “Lobo Bobo” tell the story of a wolf who decides to have someone for dinner, despite having no money. He tries to lure Little Red Riding Hood into his trap, but she ignores him and follows her grandmother’s advice to stay away from wolves. The wolf then tries to win her over with singing and promises of love, but Little Red Riding Hood sees through his games and realizes that even wolves can play the fool sometimes. In the end, she comes out on top by leashing the wolf and ensuring he never dines on anyone again.
The lyrics of “Lobo Bobo” can be interpreted as a cautionary tale about the dangers of making rash decisions and trusting strangers. The wolf represents anyone who seeks to deceive or harm others for their own gain, while Little Red Riding Hood represents anyone who is brave enough to stand up to them. The song also highlights the power of knowledge and experience, as Little Red Riding Hood is able to avoid danger by heeding the advice of her elders.

Era uma vez um lobo mau
Once upon a time, there was a big bad wolf
Que resolveu jantar alguem
Who decided to have someone for dinner
Estava sem vintem
He didn't have any money
Mas arriscou
But he took the risk
E logo se estrepou
And soon regretted it
Um chapeuzinho de maio
A little cap of May
Ouviu buzina e nao parou
Heard a honking and didn't stop
Mas lobo mau insiste
But the big bad wolf persisted
Faz cara de triste
He made a sad face
Mas chapeuzinho ouviu
But little cap heard
Os conselhos da vovo
The grandmother's advice
Dizer que nao pra lobo
To say no to the wolf
Que com lobo nao sai só
That you don't go out alone with a wolf
Lobo canta, pede promete
Wolf sings, begs and promises
Tudo ate amor
Everything, even love
E diz que fraco de lobo
And says that the wolf's weakness
É ver um chapeuzinho de maio
Is to see a little cap of May
Chapeuzinho percebeu
Little cap realized
Que o lobo mau se derreteu
That the big bad wolf melted
Pra vez voces que lobo
For you to see that the wolf
Tambem faz pápel de bobo
Also plays the fool
So posso lhe dizer
I can only tell you
Chapeuzinho agora traz
Little cap now brings
Um lobo na coleira que
A wolf on a leash that
Nao janta nunca mais
Will never have dinner again
Lobo bobo.......
Silly wolf...

Eu que conheço divisão musical, por ser músico, não conheço ninguém com divisão tão perfeita no Brasil. Ritmo, gingado não lhe faltou.

Mais uma grande interpretação do mestre Wilson Simonal.
Claudio Kokode
Nunca vi um cara com tanto talento! ele além de cantar muito tinha um dominio de palco estrondoso e fazia tudo com muita naturalidade, pra mim ele mas que Frank Sinatra,,, meu PAI que talento! vitima da inveja daqueles que não conseguiam seguer brilhar perto desta estrela chamada Simonal.

Simonal sabia como ninguém como dominar a plateia. Ele tinha a plateia na palma da mão. O verdadeiro "Rei da Pilantragem".

Esse é o cara! Simonal sempre será o melhor o maior porque ele sacou muito cedo o ritmo inventado por Carlos Imperial e a Bossa do João Gilberto. Simplesmente arrasador!
