Bonde da Maromba

“Bonde da Maromba” by Bonde da Stronda is an energetic anthem dedicated to the lifestyle of fitness enthusiasts. The song opens with a depiction of a typical morning routine, emphasizing the importance of diet and preparation. The mention of sweet potatoes and chicken as the first meal of the day highlights the commitment to a high-protein diet, essential for muscle building. The reference to insulin and hypercaloric intake underscores the meticulous planning involved in their nutrition regimen.

The lyrics then transition to the gym environment, where the excitement and dedication to training are palpable. The use of pre-workout supplements and the camaraderie among the “pescoçudos” (a slang term for muscular individuals) illustrate the intense focus and community spirit within the gym. The mention of beta-alanine causing a tingling sensation is a nod to the physical effects of supplements, further emphasizing the lengths to which these individuals go to enhance their performance.

The song also touches on the social aspects of this lifestyle, with references to the admiration received at the beach and the physical transformations achieved through rigorous training. The line “Um monstro treina como um, come como dois” encapsulates the relentless effort and substantial food intake required to maintain such a physique. Despite the challenges, including acne from supplements, the pride in their physical achievements is evident. The repeated chorus, “É o bonde da maromba,” serves as a rallying cry, celebrating the unity and dedication of this fitness-focused community.
