To be full of energy, vigor, or in peak condition.
文化背景
In Brazil, this phrase is often associated with 'Carnaval'. You will hear commentators say the 'escola de samba' is 'com a corda toda' when they are performing with maximum passion. In Portugal, while the meaning is the same, the phrase can sometimes carry a slightly more ironic tone if someone is being 'too' talkative or annoying with their energy.
Use with 'Estar'

Not for Sadness
