Roça Roça 2

MC Brinquedo's 'Roça Roça 2' is a vibrant and catchy song that delves into themes of personal transformation, social mobility, and the superficiality of newfound attention. The lyrics tell the story of a young man who has transitioned from a rural background ('roça') to achieving success in the city. This shift in his life has brought about a change in how he is perceived, particularly by women who previously showed no interest in him.

The repeated lines 'Olha a novinha que não me queria / E hoje ela quer, quer, quer' highlight the fickle nature of attraction and interest. The term 'novinha' refers to a young woman, and the protagonist notes how she now desires him because of his newfound status as a city dweller. This change in fortune is underscored by the line 'Que eu vim da roça / Mas venci na vida,' which translates to 'I came from the countryside, but I succeeded in life.' This success is not just financial but also social, as he is no longer 'a pé' (on foot), symbolizing his rise in status.

However, the song also carries a cautionary message about the intentions of those who are drawn to his success. The protagonist warns against getting too attached ('Só não se apega'), suggesting that some people are only interested in him for his newfound wealth and status. The phrase 'Interesseira colou do meu lado / Pra ver qual que é' implies that some women are sticking around to see what they can gain from him. This reflects a broader commentary on the superficiality and opportunism that can accompany success.

The repetitive and rhythmic nature of the chorus, 'Ela roça na minha / Roça, roça, roça com vontade,' adds a playful and sensual element to the song, emphasizing physical attraction and desire. Yet, it also serves as a metaphor for the protagonist's journey from being overlooked to becoming the center of attention. MC Brinquedo uses this catchy refrain to underscore the contrast between his past and present, making 'Roça Roça 2' a celebration of his achievements and a critique of the shallow nature of some relationships formed in the wake of success.
