Comer Comer

The song 'Comer Comer' by Brazilian Genghis Khan is a playful and exuberant celebration of the simple pleasures of eating. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who finds immense joy and satisfaction in a wide variety of foods, from breakfast to dinner and everything in between. The song opens with a morning routine filled with an array of delicious options like orange juice, coffee, milk, bread, chocolate, yogurt, avocado, biscuits, ham, and melon. This sets the tone for a day centered around the joy of eating.

As the song progresses, the narrator's love for food becomes even more apparent. They express a desire for hearty meals such as thick steaks, polenta, potatoes, rice, roasted meat, mashed bananas with milk, and cereal. The lyrics also mention indulgent treats like chicken stew, ice cream, strawberries, meringue, pudding, and a traditional Brazilian dessert called manjar. The repeated refrain, 'Comer comer, comer comer, é o melhor para poder crescer,' emphasizes the idea that eating is not only enjoyable but also essential for growth and well-being.

The song also humorously addresses the consequences of not eating, describing how the narrator feels weak, unable to sleep, and even susceptible to being overpowered by a mosquito. This exaggeration adds a comedic element to the song, making it both entertaining and relatable. The playful tone and catchy melody make 'Comer Comer' a delightful anthem for food lovers, celebrating the universal joy of eating and the importance of nourishment in a fun and lighthearted way.
