Vitamina D

Jose Malhoa's song "Vitamina D" is a playful and humorous exploration of dietary struggles and the quest for satisfaction. The lyrics revolve around the protagonist's frustration with his wife's strict diet, which excludes many of his favorite foods. He humorously laments that despite taking various vitamins like A, B, and C, he still feels weak and unsatisfied. The repeated refrain, "Eu só quero se for D" (I only want it if it's D), underscores his desperation for something more fulfilling, metaphorically represented by Vitamin D.

The song cleverly uses the metaphor of vitamins to highlight the protagonist's yearning for a more satisfying and indulgent diet. While his wife is committed to a health-conscious lifestyle, including sushi and vegetables, he finds himself longing for more traditional and hearty meals like bacalhau (salted codfish) and chicken. The mention of Vitamin D, often associated with sunlight and overall well-being, adds a layer of irony, as it suggests that what he truly craves is not just a nutrient but a return to the comfort and joy of his favorite foods.

Jose Malhoa, known for his vibrant and catchy tunes, infuses "Vitamina D" with a light-hearted and relatable narrative. The song's upbeat tempo and repetitive chorus make it an earworm, while its humorous take on a common domestic issue resonates with many listeners. Through this song, Malhoa captures the essence of everyday struggles with diet and the universal desire for balance between health and indulgence.
