[English]

Sweet on you!

Come on, come on!

Because everything I want, either is forbidden

Or feels so good?

Your lips are honey, let me

Lick them all over again

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

You have everything, except feelings

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

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

Oh, that tan body of yours

Melts in the mouth like a little candy

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

That you take beyond just me

That tan body of yours

Melts in the mouth like a little candy

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

That you take beyond just me

The good ones, we don’t even get involved

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

The good ones, we don’t even get involved

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

Ana Castela!

...

Call out, Goiânia, come!

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

You have everything, except feelings

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

Let's do it like this!

Oh, that tan body of yours

Melts in the mouth like a little candy

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

That you take beyond just me

That tan body of yours

Melts in the mouth like a little candy

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

That you take beyond just me

The good ones, we don’t even get involved

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

The good ones, we don’t even get involved

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

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

...

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

Ana Castela!

Israel & Rodolffo!

[Portuguese]

Bombonzinho!

Vem, vem!

Por que tudo que eu quero, ou é proibido

Ou faz gostoso?

Sua boca é um mel, deixa eu

Me lambuzar de novo

Na cama, cê tem talento, cê manja dos movimento

Tem de tudo, só não tem sentimento

Na cama, cê tem talento, cê manja dos movimento

Vamo assim, ó! (Vem, vem)

Ah, esse corpão moreno aí

Derrete na boca igual um bombonzin'

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

Que cê pega além de mim

Esse corpão moreno aí

Derrete na boca igual um bombonzin'

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

Que cê pega além de mim

As que presta, a gente nem se envolve

E as que não vale nada, nóis apaixona e sofre

Os que presta, a gente nem se envolve

E os que não vale nada, nóis apaixona e sofre

Ana Castela!

Chama, Goiânia, vem!

Na cama, cê tem talento, cê manja dos movimento

Tem de tudo, só não tem sentimento

Na cama, cê tem talento, cê manja dos movimento

Vamo assim, ó!

Ah, esse corpão moreno aí

Derrete na boca igual bombonzin'

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

Que cê pega além de mim

Esse corpão moreno aí

Derrete na boca igual bombonzin'

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

Que cê pega além de mim

As que presta, a gente nem se envolve

E as que não vale nada, nóis apaixona e sofre

Os que presta, a gente nem se envolve

E os que não vale nada, nóis apaixona e sofre

Vem, vem (aqui, ó) vem, Goiânia, vem!

As que não vale nada, nóis apaixona e sofre

Ana Castela!

Israel e Rodolffo!

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.
