[English]

Straight from Belo Horizonte

Luan City 2.0

Little hand in the sky, go

A video leaked

It was me, I won't deny it

I wasn't hiding

I told you I was going there

What if I said I didn't hook up with anyone?

What if I said I only went to drink?

What if I said someone came onto me

And when they said: Hi, I told them about you?

Nothing I say will convince you

I may be in the wrong environment

Surrounded by naughty friends

Several wanting me all night long

But I'm faithful even in the mess

I may be in the wrong environment

And surrounded by naughty friends

Several wanting me all night long

But I'm faithful even in the mess

...

What if I said I didn't hook up with anyone?

What if I said I only went to drink?

What if I said someone came onto me

And when they said: Hi, I told them about you?

And nothing I say will convince you

I may be in the wrong environment

And surrounded by naughty friends

Several wanting me all night long

But I'm faithful even in the mess

I may be in the wrong environment

(Surrounded by naughty friends)

(Several wanting me all night long) how beautiful

But I'm faithful even in the mess

Little hand in the sky from one side to the other, BH

But this here is the right environment

Totally right

Whoever liked it, raise your hand and make some noise, come on

...

Diretamente de Belo Horizonte

Luan City 2.0

Mãozinha no céu, vai

Vazou um vídeo

Era eu, não vou negar

Eu não tava escondido

Te avisei que eu ia lá

E se eu disser que eu não peguei ninguém?

Se eu disser que eu só fui pra beber?

Se eu disser que alguém chegou em mim

E quando disse: Oi, eu falei de você?

Nada que eu disser, vai te convencer

Eu posso tá no ambiente errado

Rodeado de amigo safado

Várias me querendo à noite inteira

Que eu sou fiel até na bagaceira

Eu posso tá no ambiente errado

E rodeado de amigo safado

Várias me querendo à noite inteira

Que eu sou fiel até na bagaceira

E se eu disser que eu não peguei ninguém?

E se eu disser que eu só fui pra beber?

Se eu disser que alguém chegou em mim

E quando disse: Oi, eu falei de você?

E nada que eu disser, vai te convencer

Eu posso tá no ambiente errado

E rodeado de amigo safado

Várias me querendo à noite inteira

Que eu sou fiel até na bagaceira

Eu posso tá no ambiente errado

(Rodeado de amigo safado)

(Várias me querendo à noite inteira) que coisa linda

Que eu sou fiel até na bagaceira

Mãozinha no céu de um lado pro outro, BH

Mas esse aqui é o ambiente certo

Totalmente certo

Quem gostou joga a mão e faz barulho, vai
