Verse 1
Sad, crazy or bad
She'll be labeled
She who refuses
To follow such recipe
The cultural recipe
From the husband, the family
Tend, tend to the routine
Only truly rejects
That well-known recipe
Who, not without pain
Accepts that everything must change
That a man doesn't define you
Your house doesn't define you
Your flesh doesn't define you
You're your own home
A man doesn't define you
Your house doesn't define you
Your flesh doesn't define you
You're your own home
She snapped
Untied knots
Gonna live alone
She snapped
Untied knots
Gonna live alone
Verse 2
I don't see myself in the word
Female: prey
Resigned victim
I prefer to burn the map
Redraw the road
See colors in the ashes
And reinvent life
And a man doesn't define me
My house doesn't define me
My flesh doesn't define me
I'm my own home
A man doesn't define me
My house doesn't define me
My flesh doesn't define me
I'm my own home
She snapped
Untied knots
Gonna live alone
She snapped
Untied knots
Gonna live alone

SONG MEANING

From its very first words, Triste, Louca Ou Má grabs the listener by the collar and questions the “cultural recipe” that tells women they must be dutiful wives, devoted daughters, and flawless house-keepers. Francisco and El Hombre paint the figure of a woman who would rather be called sad, crazy, or bad than surrender her freedom. The lyrics march through everyday expectations and rip them apart, declaring that a man, a house, or even one’s own body can never fully define a person.

The chorus becomes an anthem of self-ownership: “Você é seu próprio lar” – you are your own home. Instead of following a map drawn by others, this heroine burns it, redraws the road, and colors the ashes. In doing so, the song invites every listener to reinvent life on their own terms. It is bold, fiery, and ultimately uplifting, turning an accusation into a badge of honor and transforming societal constraints into fuel for personal liberation.
