Ah Eu Odeio Estudar
Fabio Tabah
The Reluctant Student's Anthem
Fabio Tabah's song "Ah Eu Odeio Estudar" captures the universal sentiment of students who find themselves begrudgingly going through the motions of their daily routines. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's morning, starting with the dreaded early wake-up call. The mundane tasks of getting ready, such as showering and brushing teeth, are portrayed as tedious chores, all leading up to the inevitable task of going to school. The repeated refrain, "Ah... Eu odeio estudar!" ("Ah... I hate studying!"), underscores the protagonist's disdain for the entire process.
The song continues to highlight the frustrations that come with being a student. From the car not starting to the classroom being moved without prior notice, each verse adds another layer to the protagonist's growing irritation. The mention of the "professor viado" (a derogatory term for the teacher) who only informed the class about the room change on the day of the lesson adds a touch of humor and sarcasm, reflecting the protagonist's exasperation with the system.
Fabio Tabah's musical style often incorporates elements of humor and relatability, making his songs resonate with a wide audience. In "Ah Eu Odeio Estudar," he taps into a common experience, using simple yet effective language to convey the daily struggles of students. The song's repetitive chorus and catchy melody make it an anthem for anyone who has ever felt the burden of academic obligations. Through this light-hearted yet poignant track, Tabah offers a voice to those who feel overwhelmed by the demands of education, making it a relatable and entertaining piece.
