Fica Caladinha
Bonde Do Tigrão Lyrics

The lyrics to Bonde do Tigrao's song Fica Caladinha seem to be addressing a young girl who the singer has "arrested" for unclear reasons. The repeated phrase "Mãos para o alto novinha" (Hands up, young girl) suggests a theme of authority and control. However, the singer then proceeds to list off the girl's supposed "rights," which are predominantly related to sexual behavior - sitting, bouncing, and grinding. The phrase "Tu tem o direito de sentar/ De quicar de rebolar" (You have the right to sit/ To bounce and wiggle) reinforces this message. The chorus - "Você também tem o direito/ De ficar caladinha/ Fica caladinha" (You also have the right/ To be quiet/ Be quiet) - could be interpreted in a few different ways, but it could suggest that the girl should remain silent about these sexual acts or that she should just be quiet and let the singer have control over her.

Overall, the lyrics to Fica Caladinha are controversial and potentially problematic. The repeated emphasis on the girl's supposed "rights" to engage in sexual behavior could be seen as exploitative, particularly given the unclear context of the "arrest" and the power dynamic between the singer and the girl. Additionally, the repeated phrase "Mãos para o alto" could be seen as a symbol of police brutality, particularly given the recent history of police violence in Brazil.
