Ritmo de festa!
Sonhei que no domingo eu fui ver o Sílvio na TV
E eu fui fantasiado de mulher, porque não podia entrar
Daí me chamaram pra ganhar um dinheiro
Mas só que eu sou muito abobado e errei todo o jogo
Ritmo de festa!
Perdi o jogo e tirei a fantasia
Não fosse em ritmo de festa, tudo é orgia
Daí me chamaram, seu Sílvio trouxe os prêmios
E eu errei de novo, só pra variar
Ritmoooo!
Ritmo de festa!
Ritmoooo!
Ritmo de festa!
Ritmoooo!
Ritmo de festa!
The lyrics of Maria do Relento's song "Ritmo de Festa" narrate a dream of the singer, who imagines going to see Silvio Santos on TV on a Sunday wearing a woman's costume, only to be denied entrance to the show. However, he's then called to participate in a game and a chance to make some money, but he messes up everything due to his own foolishness. Despite his failure, the singer continues to dance to the rhythm of the party and loses his costume in the process. Silvio Santos then calls him again, and he fails for a second time.
The song 'Ritmo de Festa' is a prime example of the Brazilian 'música brega' style that gained popularity in the late 70s and early 80s. Brega, as a genre, is characterized by a fusion of various Brazilian rhythms and American pop music of the 1950s and 60s. The style is often associated with cheesy lyrics that emphasize romantic love, heartbreaks, sex, and humorous situations.
