Fi de Rapariga
Piseiro Do Barâo Lyrics

The lyrics of "Fi de Rapariga" by Piseiro Do Barâo discuss a sensitive and complex topic surrounding the identity and societal perception of a child born to a woman who lives in a brothel. The term "Fi de rapariga" is derogatory and translates to "son of a prostitute" in English. The lyrics start by pointing out the circumstances of the child's mother, emphasizing that she resides in a brothel. This immediately sets up a judgmental tone towards the child, questioning his identity simply based on his mother's occupation.

The lyrics further delve into the rejection the singer feels towards being referred to as the father of this child. They express a sense of shame or disbelief at the idea of having a child with such a parentage and are adamant about not accepting the child as their own. The mention of going to a TV show, likely a reference to a talk show hosted by Ratinho, to ask for a DNA test underlines the doubt and reluctance in acknowledging the child as their own.

The song also highlights the stigma surrounding the child's mother, portraying her as promiscuous and morally questionable due to her profession. The lyrics question how this child, born to a woman who is said to sleep with many men, could potentially carry the father's surname and be accepted as part of their family. This reflects the deeply ingrained societal prejudices and discrimination faced by individuals associated with sex work and their children.

Despite the rejection and doubt expressed in the lyrics, there is a sense of responsibility towards the child. The singer mentions the intention to officially register the child as their own the next day, despite their initial disbelief and reluctance. This inner conflict between societal judgment and personal accountability highlights the complexities of family dynamics and societal expectations portrayed through the lens of a controversial heritage.
