Portuguese term

"frida"

Portuguese to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Song lyrics
De manhã, ainda meio zureta
Com o rímel até a bochecha
Lutando para tentar me lembrar
Do que fiz a noite passada
Se foi tudo ou quase nada
Além das tequilas no bar
Geralmente não há nada de mal
O problema é a ressaca moral
Quando essa ''frida'' vem me visitar
Ontem eu era leve e faceira
Hoje eu nem me lembro das besteiras
E às vezes melhor nem lembrar
Só lembro com exatidão
O copo, o sal, o limão

I have an idea what this might be, but would love to hear some other opinions...!

Why I closed the question Adriada brought up the possible option "ferida" which actually makes sense, but since I am not absolutely certain, I decided to check with the client (no answer yet).
Adriana Maciel Sep 9, 2009:
Não seria 'ferida'? Nada mais parece fazer sentido, e o termo se refere `a 'ressaca moral' previamente citada.

"Frida"/hag/ugly woman or some slang meaning ugly woman

I think she's referring to Frida Kahlo, the famous Mexican painter, who wasn't favored with very good looks.
Note from asker:
Yes, Luciano, I also thought it was a reference to Frida Kahlo.
Peer comment(s):

agree Transperts : If it is a Frida reference why isn't it written with a capital letter? If that is the case then I believe your answer is correct.

Because most people, unlike us, don't care about proper language.
agree Paulo Eduardo - Pro Knowledge : Obrigado André.

neutral Silvia Aquino : frida no caso é a ressaca moral, não?
