Dona Maria solta meu pinto

Jorge Moisés' song "Dona Maria solta meu pinto" is a humorous and playful narrative that revolves around a conflict between neighbors. The song tells the story of a man whose beloved rooster, referred to as "pinto," has been captured by his neighbor, Dona Maria. The lyrics are filled with double entendres and wordplay, making the song both amusing and engaging. The term "pinto" in Portuguese can mean both a young chicken and a slang term for male genitalia, adding a layer of comedic ambiguity to the song.

The protagonist expresses his deep affection for his rooster, which he has raised by hand and considers an important part of his life. The conflict arises when the rooster enters Dona Maria's garden, leading her to capture and threaten it. The man pleads with Dona Maria to release his rooster, describing the rooster's suffering and his own distress. The repeated chorus, "Dona Maria, que dor que eu sinto, Dona Maria por favor solta meu pinto," emphasizes his desperation and the comedic nature of the situation.

The song uses humor to explore themes of neighborly disputes, attachment to pets, and the lengths one will go to protect what they love. The exaggerated descriptions of the rooster's plight and the man's emotional turmoil add to the song's comedic effect. Jorge Moisés' playful storytelling and clever use of language make this song a memorable and entertaining piece that resonates with listeners through its relatable yet absurd scenario.
