Eu Sambo Mesmo

Roberta Sá Roberta Sá

The Irresistible Call of Samba

Roberta Sá's song "Eu Sambo Mesmo" is a vibrant celebration of samba, a genre deeply rooted in Brazilian culture. The lyrics emphasize the personal and emotional connection the singer has with samba, distinguishing her genuine passion from those who dance for other reasons. Sá sings about people who samba well, those who do it out of enjoyment, and others who join in just because they see others dancing. However, she makes it clear that her motivation is pure and intrinsic—she sambas because it brings her immense pleasure and makes her body move in a way that nothing else can.

The song also touches on the societal perceptions of samba. Sá acknowledges that some people don't appreciate or understand the genre, failing to grasp its harmonious and lively nature. Yet, she points out the irony that even those who claim to dislike samba often find themselves irresistibly drawn to it. They might pretend to be indifferent, but deep down, they are captivated and yearn to join in the dance. This duality highlights the universal appeal of samba and its power to evoke joy and a zest for life.

Through its repetitive and rhythmic structure, the song mirrors the essence of samba itself—infectious, engaging, and impossible to ignore. Roberta Sá's performance is not just about the act of dancing but about the profound emotional and physical connection to the music. Her declaration, "Eu sambo mesmo," is a proud affirmation of her identity and passion, celebrating the freedom and pleasure that samba brings to her life.
