Oh Mãe

MC Kelvinho's song "Oh Mãe" is a heartfelt tribute to the power of dreams and the importance of perseverance. The lyrics reflect a conversation between the artist and his mother, reminiscing about the past and celebrating the present. The repeated line, "Oh mãe lembra aqueles foguete que eu via passa," translates to "Oh mother, remember those rockets I used to see passing by," symbolizing the dreams and aspirations he had as a child. His mother’s advice to work hard is a central theme, as she tells him, "trabalha meu filho que você terá hoje," meaning "work, my son, and you will have it today." This advice has clearly paid off, as he now boasts about being able to buy an entire fleet of cars, a metaphor for his success and achievements.

The song also touches on the idea that dreams are free and that one should never stop dreaming, as emphasized in the line, "Deixando bem frisado que não custa nada sonha," which means "making it clear that it costs nothing to dream." MC Kelvinho portrays himself as a dreamer who always believed in his victory, despite the challenges and changes over time. The reference to school days and how everything has modernized highlights the passage of time and the transformation from humble beginnings to a successful present.

Another significant aspect of the song is the notion of overcoming adversity and proving doubters wrong. The line, "Menosprezo agora senta e chora," translates to "Those who underestimated me now sit and cry," indicating that those who once looked down on him are now witnessing his success. This theme of triumph over skepticism and the cyclical nature of life, as mentioned in "não esquece que o mundão da volta" (don't forget that the world turns), adds depth to the narrative, making it a powerful anthem of resilience and determination.
