Se Mancol
Companhia do Calypso Lyrics

The lyrics of the song Se Mancol by Companhia do Calypso express a message of warning to a Don Juan-type character. The singer reveals that she has pulled his card and knows all his tricks of charming and promising, only to move on after he has consumed his prey. She urges him to get lost and stop chasing her, as she is not interested in his insincere advances. She also makes it clear that she is not someone to mess with, being a Libra or Scorpio, and that he should look for someone else to play his games. The chorus suggests that the old player will eventually get tired of chasing the singer and will realize that he has no chance with her or any other woman unless he changes his ways or takes a dose of Simancol (a humorous reference to a fictional drug for curing infatuation or deception).

The tone of the song is playful and ironic, as the singer mocks the Don Juan and his tactics, while displaying her own confidence and independence. The use of animal metaphors, such as "presa devorada" (devoured prey) and "guariba" (female howler monkey), reinforces the idea of the singer being a powerful and clever creature that cannot be easily fooled or tamed. The repetition of the refrain "Não vem me paquerar, não vem me gabelar" (Don't come to flirt with me, don't come to deceive me) adds a catchy and assertive rhythm to the song, inviting the audience to sing along and dance to it.
