“Morangos com Açúcar” was a portuguese teen drama, created by TVI. It was aired between 2003 and 2012, with more than 2000 episodes and 9 seasons. Without any doubt, this serie marked a generation. That’s why the people born in the late 80’s and 90’s are called “Morangos com Açúcar generation”.
Morangos ended 5 years ago, but people still know the names of the main characters. That’s the reason why I decided to translate the first opening of the first season. Basically, this was not only the beginning of a TV show, but also the beginning of what had become a national phenomenon: there was merchandising, there were boys and girls bands who started in the show (like D’zrt, or Just Girls), and even a movie. If there was a fashion trend or “cool” words in the show, people would imitate it.
For 9 years, Morangos was a synonym of how our generation acted or wanted to be. Personally, I still have magazines where my “crushes” from the show appear. For many people, including me, Morangos com Açúcar tastes like childhood and nostalgia and reminds me of great moments.

Strawberries with Sugar
I see in the waves, the desire to surf
Being here by the sea next to you
I am the forbidden fruit
But you have to taste it
Sweet, bitter and salty as the sea
It is the forbidden fruit
That you will want to taste
Like the land is to the sea
Strawberries with sugar
It is the forbidden fruit
That you will want to taste
But you will have to fight
Strawberries with sugar!
