[English]

Licking your sweat

I feel it dripping

I get turned on in the dark

I'm gonna eat you up, eat you up

I know this love is toxic

But the poison tastes so good

I don't need medicine, yeah

I need you to fill me up, fill me up

I lose sleep, you say I'm a dream

Maybe tell me something I don't know

I bite but it's sweet, gives you some relief

Get you through the night then you can go

Ahn, yeah, damn!

Oh, I'm climbing the walls of the room

Oh, I'm climbing the walls of the room

Come make me levitate when I’m on top, yeah

Wiggle my tail four times, I know you like that

I'm gonna eat you, I'm gonna lick you

And when I’m satisfied, I’ll leave you

I’ll snuggle you, I’ll rock you

And when I’m satisfied, I’ll leave you

Ahn, yeah, damn!

Oh, I'm climbing the walls of the room

Oh, I'm climbing the walls of the room

Come make me levitate when I’m on top, yeah

Wiggle my tail four times, I know you like that

The spider lady climbed up the wall

Then the heavy rain came and knocked her down

But the rain stopped, the sun’s rising again

And the spider lady keeps climbing

Listen to the little sound of... ahn

Listen to the sound of her nails

Listen to the little sound of... ahn

Listen to the sound of her nails

Listen to the little sound of... ahn

Listen to the sound of her nails

Listen to the little sound of... ahn

Ahn, hmm

Key Grammar Structures

• Lambendo teu suor

  ➔ Gerund (-ndo)

  ➔ The gerund "lambendo" (licking) describes an action that is happening simultaneously with another action. It implies "while licking your sweat."

• Me amarro no escuro

  ➔ Reflexive Verb + preposition "em"

  ➔ "Me amarro" is the reflexive verb "amarrar-se" (to tie oneself, to be into something) conjugated in the first person singular. The phrase implies "I'm into darkness" or "I love being in the dark."

• Eu vou jantar você

  ➔ Future Tense (ir + infinitive)

  ➔ "Eu vou jantar você" uses the construction "ir + infinitive" to express an intention or near future action. It translates to "I'm going to eat you" but in a metaphorical, sexual sense.

• I be losin' sleep, you say I'm a dream

  ➔ Non-standard English ("be" instead of "am")

  ➔ Using "I be losin' sleep" is a feature of African American Vernacular English (AAVE). It indicates a habitual or continuous action. In standard English, it would be "I am losing sleep".

• Ai, eu tô subindo pelas parede do quarto

  ➔ Present Continuous (estar + gerund)

  ➔ "Eu tô subindo" is short for "Eu estou subindo", using the present continuous to describe an action in progress. It means "I am climbing."

• Rebolo o rabo de quatro, sei que tu gosta

  ➔ Subjunctive (implied)

  ➔ The "sei que tu gosta" (I know that you like it) implies an element of certainty but when combined with the prior action it can have the sense of "I know you like it (when) I twerk on all fours". The verb "gostar" can trigger the subjunctive when expressing doubt, uncertainty, or influence.

• E quando eu me satisfazer, eu vou largar você

  ➔ Future Subjunctive (satisfazer)

  ➔ The future subjunctive "satisfazer" is used in a subordinate clause indicating a future condition. The "quando" (when) triggers the subjunctive as it expresses a possible future event. It translates to "And when I satisfy myself, I will leave you."

• Já passou a chuva, o sol já vai surgindo

  ➔ Perfect Tense (Já + past participle) and Periphrastic Future

  ➔ "Já passou a chuva" uses "já" to emphasize that the rain has already passed. "Já vai surgindo" uses the "ir + infinitive" structure, which is like “going to” in English to describe near future. Therefore, the whole line translates to "The rain has already passed, the sun is already coming out."
