A very short clip of Lula saying “se tá caro, não compra,” a Brazilian political quote used in memes, reaction edits and commentary about rising prices.

This sound is a brief spoken clip of Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva saying the phrase “se tá caro, não compra,” meaning “if it’s expensive, don’t buy it.” The delivery is direct, clipped and instantly recognizable to many Brazilian viewers, which gives it a sarcastic or absurd edge when dropped into videos. Because the line is so short, it works like a punchline: creators use it to underline expensive products, bad financial advice, awkward interviews or any moment where someone seems out of touch with real prices.

This phrase is associated with Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and spread widely online in Brazil through reposted interview clips, memes and short-form reaction videos. The sound became popular because the quote is simple, blunt and easy to apply to everyday complaints about inflation and expensive products. Its staying power comes from how flexible it is: people use it both for political commentary and for non-political jokes whenever a price reveal feels ridiculous or dismissive.
