Uns Drinks

Velhas Virgens' song 'Uns Drinks' is a candid and humorous portrayal of a night out that spirals out of control. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who returns home in the early hours, heavily intoxicated, after what was supposed to be just a few drinks. The narrative is relatable to many who have experienced the slippery slope of social drinking, where one drink leads to another, and before you know it, you're stumbling home. The protagonist's attempt to sneak into the house quietly, only to be confronted by his partner, adds a layer of domestic comedy to the song.

The chorus, with its defiant tone, underscores the protagonist's love for nightlife and drinking. He warns his partner not to complain too much, or he will simply leave her talking to herself and head back to the bar. This repeated refrain highlights a recurring cycle of indulgence and avoidance of responsibility. The song's humor is further amplified by the protagonist's excuses and justifications, such as claiming he got up to drink water or that denying a drink is difficult for someone who enjoys it so much.

The second verse continues the theme of the protagonist's struggle with moderation. Despite his claims of being reformed, he quickly falls back into old habits when offered a drink. The imagery of him stumbling and the fear of his partner smelling alcohol on his breath adds to the comedic yet poignant depiction of his predicament. The song ends with a series of humorous scenarios where the protagonist would rather leave his partner alone than face her complaints, emphasizing his prioritization of drinking over domestic harmony. Velhas Virgens, known for their irreverent and satirical style, use 'Uns Drinks' to explore themes of addiction, escapism, and the tension between personal freedom and relationship responsibilities.
