Quimba is a Brazilian Portuguese slang term for the very end of a cigarette, often referred to as a "cigarette butt" or "roach" in English.
In the song, the singer says, "Eu 'tô fumando até o quimba" (I'm even smoking the quimba). This vividly conveys a sense of desperation and hitting rock bottom, as he's trying to extract every last bit from his cigarette, mirroring his emotional state after a breakup. It's an interesting and somewhat raw word that paints a clear picture of his suffering.
Ever wondered what heartbreak looks like on opposite sides of the bar counter? In “Um Mês E Pouco” Zé Neto & Cristiano paint that picture with humor and raw honesty. He is chugging the last drops from a bottle and smoking every crumb of his cigarette, trying to numb the pain of a breakup. Meanwhile, his ex is already out there accepting cheesy pick-up lines, laughing at jokes that are barely funny, and kissing strangers just to prove she is over it. The song turns this messy scene into a lively movie in your head.
But the real twist is in the chorus: the singer bets that in “a month and a bit” the roles will flip. He believes his wounds will heal, he will hit the streets ready to have fun, and she will be the one drowning her sorrows. It is a playful promise of turning the tables, wrapped in catchy sertanejo melodies. Heartache, revenge, and a countdown clock—this track turns post-breakup chaos into an energetic anthem you can shout along to.
