Ta Com Medo Tabaréu

The song 'Ta Com Medo Tabaréu' by Super Bacana is a vibrant and playful exploration of freedom, control, and the joy of simple pleasures. The lyrics revolve around the imagery of flying a kite, a common pastime that symbolizes liberation and the delicate balance between control and letting go. The repeated line 'Tá com medo tabaréu, é de linha de carretel' suggests a taunt, calling out someone who is afraid, perhaps of the challenges or the unpredictability that comes with flying a kite. The 'linha de carretel' (spool line) represents the connection and control one has over the kite, a metaphor for life's challenges and the courage needed to face them.

The song's playful tone is evident in the lines 'Você encosta, ela estica, tira a mão da minha pipa que eu quero soltar,' which translates to 'You touch it, it stretches, take your hand off my kite because I want to let it go.' This highlights the desire for personal space and the freedom to navigate one's own path without interference. The kite, described as 'voadora' (flying) and 'no ar' (in the air), embodies the spirit of adventure and the joy of soaring high above constraints.

The mention of 'rabo grande' (big tail) and 'linha grossa' (thick line) with 'meu cerol não há quem possa' (no one can handle my glass-coated line) adds a competitive edge to the song. Cerol, a mixture of glue and glass powder applied to kite strings, is used in kite fighting to cut the strings of opponents. This introduces an element of rivalry and the thrill of overcoming obstacles. The repeated refrain 'Tá com medo tabaréu' serves as a challenge, urging the listener to embrace courage and face their fears head-on, much like the kite that bravely dances in the sky.
