Se marcar
Tati Quebra Barraco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E se marcar eu beijo mesmo
Não deu conta eu beijo mesmo, hein
Tu tá marcando eu beijo mesmo, hein
Vou te dar um papo reto
É melhor ficar ligada
Não deu conta do marido
E se marcar eu beijo mesmo
Não deu conta eu beijo mesmo
Tu tá marcando eu beijo mesmo, hein
E se marcar eu beijo mesmo, hein
Não deu conta eu beijo mesmo, hein, Jesus
Eu sou a Quebra Barraco
Vou falar bem de mansinho
Pra sair com seu marido
Só se for no sapatinho
E se marcar nessa parada
Vai rolar a cachorrada
E se marcar eu beijo mesmo, hein
E se marcar eu beijo mesmo, hein
Não deu conta eu beijo mesmo, hein
Tu tá marcando eu beijo mesmo, hein
The lyrics of Tati Quebra Barraco's song, "Se marcar," tell a story of a woman who is warning another woman to beware of her husband's infidelity. She warns that if the woman can't satisfy her husband's needs, he will likely cheat and "cachorrada" (slang for "dog behavior") will ensue. The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Se marcar eu beijo mesmo" which roughly translates to "if you mark me, I'll kiss him even more." This line highlights the woman's confidence in herself and her ability to please the man.
The song embodies the Baile Funk genre, a subcategory of Brazilian Funk music that originated in the late 1980s in Rio de Janeiro. The lyrics of Baile Funk songs often have sexually explicit content, and the genre has faced controversy and censorship.
