Quadrilha

Simone Mendes' song "Quadrilha" is a lively and humorous portrayal of a night out with friends who are anything but well-behaved. The song captures the essence of camaraderie and the influence of friends on one's actions, often leading to mischievous and carefree behavior. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a group of women who are unapologetically enjoying their night, each with their own quirks and antics.

The song opens with a call to action, inviting listeners to join Simone and her friends. The lyrics describe a scenario where the protagonist struggles to behave responsibly because her friends are a constant source of 'bad influence.' For every ounce of conscience, there's a liter of mischief, suggesting that the fun and chaos outweigh any attempts at being sensible. The friends are characterized by their distinct behaviors: one is dancing provocatively, another is crying over an ex at the bar, a third has already kissed multiple people, and the next target is the DJ. This colorful cast of characters adds to the song's playful and relatable narrative.

The chorus emphasizes the bond between the protagonist and her friends, despite their wild ways. The repeated line "Quem não presta são minhas amigas" ("The ones who are no good are my friends") highlights a sense of loyalty and acceptance. The protagonist acknowledges that she is part of this 'quadrilha' (gang), and there's a sense of pride and solidarity in their shared experiences. The song celebrates the joy of friendship and the freedom to be oneself, even if it means being a little reckless. It's a fun, upbeat anthem that resonates with anyone who has ever had a night out with friends that they'll never forget.
