Tamu a lidar

T-Rex's song 'Tamu a lidar' is a powerful anthem of resilience and community. The phrase 'tamu a lidar,' which translates to 'we are dealing with it,' is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the collective effort to face life's challenges. The lyrics reflect a sense of unity and perseverance, suggesting that no matter the obstacles, the community will continue to push forward together. This sentiment is reinforced by the lines 'Sorriso do Sol só é bênção se tivermos a lidar com o contra,' meaning 'the smile of the Sun is only a blessing if we are dealing with the opposition.' It highlights the idea that true happiness and blessings come from overcoming adversity.

The song also delves into the importance of living in the moment and finding joy despite hardships. T-Rex sings about the significance of family gatherings, good food, and music as sources of happiness and relief from daily struggles. The mention of traditional Angolan dishes like 'cachupa' and the reference to music genres like kizomba and semba add a cultural layer to the song, celebrating the richness of Angolan heritage. These elements serve as reminders that even in tough times, there are always reasons to celebrate and be grateful.

Moreover, 'Tamu a lidar' addresses the socio-economic challenges faced by the community. T-Rex talks about the struggle to make ends meet and the importance of not giving up on dreams. The lyrics 'Quem acredita no sonho não espera que o mundo lhe entenda' ('Those who believe in the dream don't wait for the world to understand them') encourage listeners to keep pursuing their goals regardless of external validation. The song is a call to action, urging people to stay hopeful and united in the face of adversity, and to believe in the power of their community to bring about change.
