Usa E Abusa
Sandra De Sá Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A danada da vizinha
É mesmo uma língua solta
Quando sabe uma história
Ela logo vem com outra
Passa o dia na janela
Corujando a vida alheia
E se vacila com ela
Aí é chave de cadeia

Usa e abusa
De fazer fofoca
Usa e abusa
Ela nem se toca

Ela diz que abre a boca
Só quando tem certeza
Que o marida da Yoná
Anda saindo com a Tereza
Tem sempre alguma coisa
Que é pra falar mal de alguém
Você nem imagina o repertório que ela tem

A danada da vizinha
É aquele leva e traz
Ela faz e acontece
Pra ninguém viver em paz
Diz que a loura da esquina
Cuida tanto da imagem




Pra garantir um troco
Numa casa de massagem

Overall Meaning

In Sandra De Sá's song "Usa e Abusa", the lyrics describe the neighborhood gossip who always has something to say about everyone's lives. The lyrics reveal that this "danada da vizinha", or "damned neighbor", cannot seem to keep her mouth shut when she knows someone's story and is quick to come up with another. She spends her days looking out the window and spying on other people's lives, and if you mess up around her, she will be the first to rat you out.


The chorus emphasizes the neighbor's constant use and abuse of gossip, and how she does not even realize the harm she brings to others. She claims to only open her mouth when she is sure of the news, such as when Yoná's husband is seeing Tereza. The neighbor always has something negative to say about someone and she holds a vast repertoire of gossip. The lyrics also mention another blonde neighbor who allegedly works at a massage parlor to earn some extra money.


The song seems to be a commentary on the negative effects of gossip in a community. It warns listeners to be careful around people who gossip and to not engage in the spreading of rumors. Overall, the song promotes a message of minding one's own business and living peacefully with others in the neighborhood, without spreading rumors or starting drama.
