Miss Simpatia
Ultraje A Rigor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ei, Miss Simpatia
Me desculpe mas hoje não vamos deixar pra outro dia
Ei, Miss Simpatia
Beleza plástica é o quesito que hoje mais me agradaria
Você é muito inteligente
Mas hoje eu não tô a fim de conversar
Se você estiver sozinha
Tem um amigo que eu posso apresentar

Não me leve a mal mas hoje eu quero ser superficial
Eu até acho que a gente formaria um bom casal
Quem sabe um dia eu te procure pra que a gente
Bata um papo com um teor mais intelectual
Não me leve a mal

Ei, Miss Simpatia
Você merece um cara bem melhor do que a maioria
Ei, Miss Simpatia
Não sou do tipo que mulher como você se interessaria
Eu agradeço pelo dia
Em que você me deu sua companhia
Quando voltar sozinho pra casa
Era o que eu menos queria

Não me leve a mal mas hoje eu quero ser superficial
Eu até acho que a gente formaria um bom casal
Quem sabe um dia eu te procure pra que a gente

Bata um papo com um teor mais intelectual
Não me leve a mal

Overall Meaning

The song Miss Simpatia by Ultraje A Rigor is sung from the perspective of a man who is interested in a woman named Miss Simpatia but is not looking for deep conversations or intellectual stimulation. Instead, he is looking for superficial qualities such as physical beauty, and suggests that he would like to be introduced to her friend if she is alone. He acknowledges that she is intelligent but does not want to engage in conversation. He also expresses his appreciation for her company and admits that he is not the type of person that someone like her would typically be interested in.

The song's lyrics reflect a shallow approach to dating and relationships, as the male protagonist is primarily focused on physical appearance rather than personality or intellect. He admits that he may seek out Miss Simpatia in the future for more intellectual conversations, but for now, he just wants a superficial experience with her. The lyrics may be interpreted as commentary on the superficiality and insincerity that can be present in modern dating culture.
