Titгs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Parabéns aos acadêmicos da associação
Saudações para os formandos da cadeira de direito
A todas as senhoras muita consideração
Porrada
Nos caras que não fazem nada
Medalhinhas para o presidente
Condecorações aos veteranos
Congratulações para os banqueiros
Porrada
Nos caras que não fazem nada
Distribuição de panfletos
Reivindicação dos direitos
Associação de pais e mestres
Proliferação das pestes
Porrada
Nos caras que não fazem nada
The lyrics of Titãs' song "Porrada" (which translates to "Punch" in English) seem to showcase a sense of frustration with society's tendency to give recognition and reward to those who do very little, while the hardworking and dedicated individuals go unnoticed.
The opening lines acknowledge and offer praise to different groups from opposing teams, academic associations, and institutions of authority, but the tone then quickly shifts to the sarcastic chorus of "Porrada nos caras que não fazem nada" or "Punch those who do nothing." This could be interpreted as a recognition of the often arbitrary nature of who society chooses to reward and acknowledge, rather than those who truly deserve it.
The following verses then continue to mock different societal groups who receive recognition for minimal effort, including the president, veterans, bankers, and even parents and teachers. The repeated use of the line "Porrada" seems to emphasize the idea that these individuals and groups are essentially getting away with doing nothing, while simultaneously receiving recognition and reward.
Overall, the lyrics of "Porrada" could be seen as questioning the values and priorities of society, where those who do very little are often celebrated while true hardworking individuals are overlooked.
