[English]

I told you, don’t confuse things

Better not to cling

I might not be here when I wake up

I warned you, I’m not a flower to smell

But this bee is stubborn

It smells me and still kisses me with that tasty mouth

That’s the reason for my emotional upheaval

Should I stay or go? Should I stay or leave? Is it lust or love?

And there you are, landing in my swarm

Stopped my speeding mouth

She’s powerful, oh, sporty little invoker

Landing in my swarm

Stopped my speeding mouth

She’s powerful, oh, sporty little invoker

Managed to take the honey

From where no one could take it

...

When I met you, I thought

I’ll pull the stunt, I was the one who got played

Tried to steal a thief’s heart

Law owner

I didn’t want to love you, but I loved you

I didn’t want to give in, but I gave in

I didn’t want to jump, but I jumped

I didn’t want to

That’s the reason for my emotional upheaval

Should I stay or go? Should I stay or leave? Is it lust or love?

And there you are, landing in my swarm

Stopped my speeding mouth

She’s powerful, oh, sporty little invoker

Landing in my swarm

Stopped my speeding mouth

She’s powerful, oh, sporty little invoker

Landing in my swarm

Stopped my speeding mouth

She’s powerful, (oh, sporty little invoker)

Landing in my swarm

Stopped my speeding mouth

She’s powerful, oh, sporty little invoker

Managed to take the honey

From where no one could take it

...

[Portuguese]

Te falei, não confunda as coisas

Melhor nem se apegar

Posso não tá mais aqui quando acordar

Te avisei, não sou flor que se cheira

Mas essa abelha é teimosa

Me cheira e ainda me beija com essa boca gostosa

Tá aí o motivo do meu abalo emocional

Fico ou não fico? Vou ou não vou? É lance ou amor?

E aí, chegou pousando na minha revoada

Freou minha boca, que era acelerada

Ela é porrada, ô, baixinha invocada

Chegou pousando na minha revoada

Freou minha boca, que era acelerada

Ela é porrada, ô, baixinha invocada

Conseguiu tirar o mel

De onde ninguém tirava

Quando eu te conheci, pensei

Vou dar o golpe, eu que levei

Tentei roubar o coração de uma ladra

Dona da lei

Eu não queria te amar, te amei

Eu não queria me entregar, me entreguei

Eu não queria me jogar, me joguei

Eu não queria

Tá aí o motivo do meu abalo emocional

Fico ou não fico? Vou ou não vou? É lance ou amor?

E aí, chegou pousando na minha revoada

Freou minha boca, que era acelerada

Ela é porrada, ô, baixinha invocada

Chegou pousando na minha revoada

Freou minha boca, que era acelerada

Ela é porrada, ô, baixinha invocada

Chegou pousando na minha revoada

Freou minha boca que era acelerada

Ela é porrada, (ô, baixinha invocada)

Chegou pousando na minha revoada

Freou minha boca que era acelerada

Ela é porrada, ô, baixinha invocada

Conseguiu tirar o mel

De onde ninguém tirava
