Nádegas a Declarar

Gabriel O Pensador's song 'Nádegas a Declarar' is a sharp critique of the objectification of women in Brazilian culture. The lyrics juxtapose the country's motto 'Ordem e Progresso' (Order and Progress) with the superficial success attributed to a woman's physical appearance, particularly her buttocks. This contrast sets the stage for a deeper exploration of societal values and the pervasive influence of machismo and media on women's self-worth.

The song features a dialogue between Gabriel and a female voice, Fernanda, who highlights the natural inclination to dance and celebrate in a country known for its football and carnival. However, she points out that the 'bundalização' (a term combining 'bunda' meaning buttocks and 'globalization') is driven by a sexist culture that reduces women to mere objects of desire. Gabriel echoes this sentiment, questioning what women have beyond their physical attributes and urging them to recognize their worth beyond their bodies.

Throughout the song, Gabriel criticizes the media and entertainment industries for perpetuating this objectification. He calls out the 'celebrity' status given to women who flaunt their bodies, warning that such superficial fame is fleeting and ultimately damaging. The repeated refrain 'Arrebita a rabeta' (Lift your tail) serves as a sarcastic reminder of how society pressures women to prioritize their physical appearance over their intellect and dignity.

'Nádegas a Declarar' is a powerful commentary on the need for women to value their minds and capabilities. Gabriel O Pensador challenges listeners to rethink societal norms and encourages women to break free from the constraints of objectification, advocating for a more profound and respectful appreciation of their true worth.
