Bombonzinho!

Sweet on you!

Vem, vem!

Come on, come on!

Por que tudo que eu quero, ou é proibido

Because everything I want, either is forbidden

Ou faz gostoso?

Or feels so good?

Sua boca é um mel, deixa eu

Your lips are honey, let me

Me lambuzar de novo

Lick them all over again

Na cama, cê tem talento, cê manja dos movimento

In bed, you've got talent, you know all the moves

Tem de tudo, só não tem sentimento

You have everything, except feelings

Na cama, cê tem talento, cê manja dos movimento

In bed, you've got talent, you know all the moves

Vamo assim, ó! (Vem, vem)

Let's do it like this! (Come on, come on)

Ah, esse corpão moreno aí

Oh, that tan body of yours

Derrete na boca igual um bombonzin'

Melts in the mouth like a little candy

Pena que cê é pra frente, tem uma porrada de gente

It's a shame you're so upfront, got a lot of people

Que cê pega além de mim

That you take beyond just me

Esse corpão moreno aí

That tan body of yours

Derrete na boca igual um bombonzin'

Melts in the mouth like a little candy

Pena que cê é pra frente, tem uma porrada de gente

It's a shame you're so upfront, got a lot of people

Que cê pega além de mim

That you take beyond just me

As que presta, a gente nem se envolve

The good ones, we don’t even get involved

E as que não vale nada, nóis apaixona e sofre

And the ones that aren’t worth it, we fall for and suffer

Os que presta, a gente nem se envolve

The good ones, we don’t even get involved

E os que não vale nada, nóis apaixona e sofre

And the ones that aren’t worth it, we fall for and suffer

Ana Castela!

Ana Castela!

Chama, Goiânia, vem!

Call out, Goiânia, come!

Na cama, cê tem talento, cê manja dos movimento

In bed, you've got talent, you know all the moves

Tem de tudo, só não tem sentimento

You have everything, except feelings

Na cama, cê tem talento, cê manja dos movimento

In bed, you've got talent, you know all the moves

Vamo assim, ó!

Let's do it like this!

Ah, esse corpão moreno aí

Oh, that tan body of yours

Derrete na boca igual bombonzin'

Melts in the mouth like a little candy

Pena que cê é pra frente, tem uma porrada de gente

It's a shame you're so upfront, got a lot of people

Que cê pega além de mim

That you take beyond just me

Esse corpão moreno aí

Derrete na boca igual bombonzin'

Melts in the mouth like a little candy

Pena que cê é pra frente, tem uma porrada de gente

It's a shame you're so upfront, got a lot of people

Os que presta, a gente nem se envolve

The good ones, we don’t even get involved

E os que não vale nada, nóis apaixona e sofre

And the ones that aren’t worth it, we fall for and suffer

Vem, vem (aqui, ó) vem, Goiânia, vem!

Come on, come on (here, now) come on, Goiânia, come!

As que não vale nada, nóis apaixona e sofre

And the ones that aren’t worth it, we fall for and suffer

Key Grammar Structures

• Bombonzinho!

  ➔ Diminutive (suffix -inho/-inha)

  ➔ The suffix "-inho" is added to "bombom" (candy/chocolate) to form a diminutive, indicating smallness or expressing affection/endearment. Here, it suggests something sweet and desirable.

• Por que tudo que eu quero, ou é proibido / Ou faz gostoso?

  ➔ Relative Pronoun "que" with Indefinite Pronoun "tudo" + Disjunctive Conjunction "ou...ou..."

  ➔ "tudo que" means "everything that". The first "que" is a relative pronoun. "ou...ou..." (either...or...) indicates two alternative or mutually exclusive options for what the speaker wants.

• Sua boca é um mel, deixa eu / Me lambuzar de novo

  ➔ Imperative "deixa" + Reflexive Verb "me lambuzar"

  ➔ "deixa eu" is an informal construction for "let me". "me lambuzar" is a reflexive verb, meaning "to smear myself" or "to get messy" (with something, like honey).

• Na cama, cê tem talento, cê manja dos movimento

  ➔ Informal Pronoun "cê" + Informal Verb "manjar de"

  ➔ "cê" is a very common informal contraction of "você" (you) in Brazilian Portuguese. "manjar de" is a colloquial verb meaning "to be good at" or "to know well".

• Tem de tudo, só não tem sentimento

  ➔ Impersonal "ter" (to have/there is/are)

  ➔ The verb "ter" (to have) is used impersonally here, meaning "there is/are" or "there exists". "Tem de tudo" means "There's a bit of everything" or "There's everything".

• Ah, esse corpão moreno aí / Derrete na boca igual um bombonzin'

  ➔ Demonstrative Adverb "aí" + Comparison "igual"

  ➔ "aí" is a demonstrative adverb (like "there" or "that one over there") often used informally for emphasis or to refer to something present/implied. "igual" means "like" or "as", used for comparison.

• Pena que cê é pra frente, tem uma porrada de gente / Que cê pega além de mim

  ➔ Fixed Expression "Pena que" + Quantifier "uma porrada de" + Relative Pronoun "que"

  ➔ "Pena que" is a common expression meaning "It's a shame that" or "It's a pity that". "uma porrada de" is a colloquial quantifier meaning "a lot of" or "many". The second "que" is a relative pronoun linking to "gente" (people).

• As que presta, a gente nem se envolve / E as que não vale nada, nóis apaixona e sofre

  ➔ Omission of Noun with "as que" + Informal "a gente" / "nóis" + Negative Emphasis "nem" + Reflexive Verb "se envolver"

  ➔ "As que" functions as "Those (people/things) that...". "a gente" is a common informal substitute for "nós" (we). "nóis" is an even more informal variant of "nós". "nem se envolve" means "don't even get involved". "se envolver" is a reflexive verb.
