Bagaceiro chinelão
Graforréia Xilarmônica Lyrics

The lyrics of Graforréia Xilarmônica's song "Bagaceiro chinelão" depict a scene where a destitute man, referred to as "bagaceiro chinelão" (a slang term for a scruffy or lazy person), comes knocking on someone's door asking for some money and a glass of water. However, the singer's father is not pleased with the situation and reluctantly fulfills the man's requests. The father fills a glass with water from the tap and returns to his armchair in the living room. Surprisingly, the bagaceiro chinelão doesn't drink the water nor does he give it to the maloqueiro (slang for a troublemaker or street kid), possibly implying a sense of selfishness and indifference.

The lyrics then express astonishment at the old man's stinginess, referring to him as a "sovina" (a scrooge). It is suggested that one day he will experience thirst in a desert and have no water to drink, and hunger without any food to eat. The lyrics mention that his old and tattered clothes show over twenty thousand open sores, boils, and circumcision-related issues. The man's birth name is revealed to be Moisés, but everyone refers to him as "fimose" (a medical condition).

From a young age, around ten years old, Moisés has been targeted and teased by others. The lyrics imply that his name has become a source of ridicule, as fimose refers to a medical condition associated with circumcision. This may symbolize how Moisés has been marked by his physical condition and has faced constant mockery and isolation. Through these lyrics, the song explores themes of social inequality, indifference, and the dehumanizing effects of poverty and stigma.
