Bebaça (part. Maiara & Maraisa)

Marília Mendonça's song 'Bebaça,' featuring Maiara e Maraisa, is a playful and humorous take on a night out with friends that goes a bit overboard with alcohol consumption. The lyrics describe a scenario where the protagonist's friend, after claiming to handle her liquor well, ends up in a series of embarrassing and reckless situations due to excessive drinking. The song's chorus humorously points out that while the friend has taken in various types of alcohol, she has not taken 'vergonha na cara'—a Brazilian Portuguese expression meaning 'shame' or 'embarrassment.'

The song's narrative unfolds as a recounting of the previous night's events, with the singer reminding her friend of her antics, such as attempting to grab the waiter and knocking over the sound system. The mention of trying to call an ex-lover adds a layer of relatable regret that often accompanies drunken escapades. The repetition of the phrase 'Amiga, cê tava bebaça' (Friend, you were so drunk) emphasizes the humorous disbelief at the friend's behavior. The inclusion of the names Maiara and Marília in the lyrics suggests a camaraderie and shared experience among the singers, as if they are teasing each other about their own drunken misadventures.

Marília Mendonça was known for her sertanejo music, a genre popular in Brazil that often features themes of love, heartbreak, and everyday life. 'Bebaça' fits within this tradition but with a lighthearted and comedic twist. The song captures the spirit of letting loose and the bond between friends who look out for each other, even when one of them loses their inhibitions. It's a celebration of friendship and the sometimes ridiculous moments that can come from a night of partying too hard.
