Song Meaning of “The Times / Times like these / Primeiros Erros (Chove) – Ao Vivo” by Oba Oba Samba House
This song by Oba Oba Samba House speaks to a common theme throughout history: the difficulties of life while simultaneously being emboldened in the face of them. The lyrics tell us to enjoy the small moments, to go on living despite the sorrow and joy that comes with life’s unpredictable tides in times like these. The samba beat reminds us to stay in the groove despite what may come, to find a way to keep going, to keep the beat going as we live our lives.
In the verses, Oba Oba Samba House speaks of the sorrow that comes from longing loves and relationships long gone. Even though times are difficult and the future may not look the same as the past, they acknowledge the power of resilience and remember that something good can eventually come from bad times. Even as we struggle, we need to keep going, keep pushing, and labor on with the hope of better days ahead.
The chorus calls us, in so many words, to “dance around the chaos of life” and to “never forget the love of a good life”. It’s easy to fall into despair and depression, but the song encourages us to pick ourselves up and find our way back into the groove of life. As we appreciate the present, we can also look forward to happier times ahead.
The message is clear – no matter how difficult the times may be, there is hope on the horizon.
