Tata

The song 'Tata' by Slow J, a Portuguese rapper known for his introspective lyrics and soulful beats, delves into themes of heritage, ambition, and the passage of time. The title 'Tata' is a term of endearment for an elder, possibly a father figure, suggesting a dialogue with ancestry or a search for roots. The repeated question 'quanto tempo p'ra te encontrar?' translates to 'how long to find you?' which could signify a longing to connect with one's heritage or a lost loved one.

The lyrics reflect on the struggles and resilience of the artist's father, acknowledging the hardships faced without complaint. This portrayal of strength serves as an inspiration for Slow J, who expresses gratitude and a commitment to maintain the values taught by his father. The reference to changing the anthem, possibly alluding to making a significant impact or change, indicates a desire to leave a mark on the world, just as his father has left a mark on him.

The chorus's mention of taking 'a banda' (the band or group) and then the world 'de assalto' (by storm) suggests a dual ambition: to reunite with his roots and to achieve great success. The artist is not tired but eager to show what he is capable of, indicating a drive to overcome obstacles and achieve his goals. The song is a blend of personal reflection and a universal message about the importance of knowing one's origins while striving for a better future.
