Engravidou (part. Grigo 22)
Anderson Neiff
The Unplanned Consequences of Passion
The song "Engravidou" by Anderson Neiff featuring Grigo 22 is a narrative about an unexpected pregnancy resulting from a casual sexual encounter. The lyrics open with a woman contacting the man to inform him that the condom broke during their encounter, which has led to her pregnancy. The man's response is nonchalant, as he counts to three and realizes that in just a few seconds, his life is set to change drastically over the next nine months. The song's chorus emphasizes the pregnancy with the repeated line 'Engravidou, vai ter um menino,' which translates to 'She got pregnant, it's going to be a boy.'
The lyrics use explicit language and metaphors to describe the sexual act that led to the pregnancy, with phrases like 'a xereca foi bandido,' which loosely translates to 'the vagina was the culprit.' This choice of words suggests a playful yet crude tone, attributing the cause of the pregnancy to the woman's sexuality. The song's repetitive structure and the use of slang terms for sexual organs and actions reflect a raw and direct approach to the subject matter, which is characteristic of some musical styles that prioritize rhythm and rhyme over lyrical depth.
The song can be seen as a commentary on the consequences of unprotected sex and the lack of responsibility some individuals may exhibit towards sexual encounters. It also touches on themes of masculinity, as the man's reaction to the news of the pregnancy is to acknowledge it with a sense of detachment. The song's portrayal of the situation raises questions about the societal attitudes towards sex, responsibility, and the implications of unexpected pregnancies.
