Mamãe Viajandona
Inimigos do Rei Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

A sua mãe foi trabalhar na zona
franca de Manaus
vendendo disco da Madonna

Nas horas vagas estudava Nitsche (vê se pode)
Ouvia o seu preferido pop star o tal de Ritchie (olha o que ela
tá fazendo com seu nome)
O seu albergue tinha um vídeo que passava os filme do
Schwarzenegger
Depois de um porre apaixonado sem dó sonhou padedês com o
Baryshnikov

A sua mãe foi trabalhar na zona




franca de Manaus
vendendo disco da Madonna

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Mamãe Viajandona" by Inimigos do Rei tell the story of a mother who goes to work in the free trade zone of Manaus selling Madonna's records, but who also uses her free time to study the philosopher Nietzsche and listen to her favorite pop star, Ritchie. Her hostel plays videos of Arnold Schwarzenegger's movies, and after a passionate drunken night, she dreams of ballet legend Mikhail Baryshnikov. The repetition of the line "A sua mãe foi trabalhar na zona franca de Manaus vendendo disco da Madonna" emphasizes the irony and the contrast between the stereotype of a mother and her unexpected interests and experiences.


The song is a humorous critique of social prejudices and the limited views that people have of each other. The mother in the song represents an alternative lifestyle that challenges the norms of society and embraces diversity and individuality. The song celebrates the mother's adventurous spirit and her pursuit of knowledge and pleasure, regardless of societal expectations.
