O Político

Dicró's song "O Político" is a satirical and humorous take on the life of a politician who goes to great lengths to win an election, only to face a crushing defeat. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's efforts, from providing construction materials like cement and bricks to engaging in community activities such as visiting favelas and carrying crying babies. He even resorts to bribery, offering cachaça (a Brazilian spirit), snacks, and large sums of money. Despite these efforts, he loses the election, leading to a sense of betrayal and frustration.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the politician's disdain for the electorate, calling them "traitors" and expressing his belief that voters are untrustworthy. This sentiment is further highlighted by his promise to his partner that she would become the first lady, only for her to lose even her bed when he fails to win. The discovery of his portrait in a public restroom symbolizes the public's disregard and mockery of his failed campaign. The politician's anger culminates in a threat to punish his campaign manager, whom he also labels a traitor.

The song's humor reaches its peak when the politician laments that he received only one vote, which was invalidated. He expresses his dismay at the lack of support, even from his own mother, who he sarcastically criticizes for not voting for him despite being dependent on him. The final lines of the song reveal a cynical view of politics and human nature, as the politician's mother admits that knowing him too well is precisely why she didn't vote for him. Dicró's "O Político" uses humor and satire to critique the political system and the often disingenuous nature of political campaigns, highlighting the gap between politicians' promises and their actual support.
