Quicar literally means "to bounce" or "to rebound". However, in the context of Brazilian funk music, it's commonly used as slang for "to twerk" or to move one's hips rhythmically.
In "Treme Treme", MC Loma sings, "Porque eu chego no baile com a bunda, eu vou quicar" (Because I arrive at the party with my butt, I'm going to twerk). This word is central to the song's energetic and dance-focused theme, making it memorable and culturally relevant for learners interested in contemporary Brazilian music and slang.
Get ready to hit the dance floor! "Treme Treme" is a high-energy Brazilian funk anthem all about confidence and ignoring the haters. MC Loma kicks things off by acknowledging that some people got "stressed" because she and her crew got together, but she quickly dismisses them. With lines like, "this has just begun" and "What you're saying / Won't interest me," she makes it clear that she's focused on her success and having a good time.
The song is a direct command to the listener to dance. The title itself, "Treme Treme," means "Shake Shake," and the lyrics constantly repeat instructions like "concentrate on the beat" and "shake, shake down to the floor." It's a celebration of arriving at the baile (party) with confidence, ready to dance without a care in the world.
