Intro
Don't cry for him
Chorus 1
Crying left the one that one day made me cry
Crying left the one that one day made me cry
Crying she'll be remembering the love
That one day she didn't know how to cherish
Chorus 2
Crying she'll be remembering the love
That one day she didn't know how to cherish
The memory will be with her wherever she goes
The memory will be forever wherever she goes
Dance, sun and sea I'll keep in my gaze
Love makes you lose and find
I'll be lambada-dancing while remembering that this love
For one day, one instant, was king
This here's São Paulo
At night, the moon, the stars
Chorus 2
The beach, the sand
To forget her
Chorus 2
A mermaid that enchants
While sunbathing, ooh-oh-oh
Chorus 2
A body that screams for
Samba and heat
My babe, shake it
A waist set on fire
My babe, shake it
She doesn't tire
My babe, shake it
Dancing like that
My babe, shake it
Ron da fao, ron da fao
My babe, shake it
Killer
My babe, shake it
Watch over me in the favela
Watch over me in the favela
Watch over me in the favela
Blue Bay, A&X
Crying left the one that one day made me cry
Crying left the one that one day made me cry
Crying she'll be remembering the love
That one day she didn't know how to cherish
Crying she'll be remembering the love
That one day she didn't know how to cherish
The memory will be with her wherever she goes
The memory will be forever wherever she goes
Dance, sun and sea I'll keep in my gaze
Love makes you want to find
I'll be lambada-dancing while remembering that this love
For one day, one instant, was king
This here's São Paulo
At night, the moon, the stars
The beach, the sand
To forget her
A mermaid that enchants
While sunbathing
A body that screams for
Samba and heat
My babe, shake it
A waist set on fire
My babe, shake it
She doesn't tire
My babe, shake it
Dancing like that
My babe, shake it
Ron da fao, ron da fao
My babe, shake it
The moon, the stars
My babe, shake it
Taboo
My babe, shake it
The beach, the sand
My babe, shake it
A&X
Lambada Brasília
Don't cry for him

SONG MEANING

Taboo sweeps you onto a sun-drenched beach where Puerto Rican reggaetón meets Brazil’s iconic lambada. Don Omar borrows the famous hook “Llorando se fue…” to confess that the woman who once broke his heart now cries for the love she failed to protect. The quick Portuguese lines echo the same idea: memories will haunt her wherever she goes. Heartache is clearly the starting point, but it is wrapped in vibrant images of moonlight, sand, and ocean that promise something more than sadness.

Instead of staying in sorrow, the singer chooses to heal through music and dance. He calls for samba, heat, and hip-swaying movement—“Mi nena, menea.” The beat turns his pain into a carnival, celebrating the irresistible pull of rhythm that makes even heartbreak feel alive. The “taboo” is simple yet powerful: mixing melancholy lyrics with an upbeat, sensual party vibe. By the end, the song teaches that on the dance floor every tear can be flipped into joy, every lost love into freedom under the stars.
