Ei, ei

Hey, hey

He venido a Brazil a bailar

I came to Brazil to dance

Donde estas este ritmo caliente de aquí?

Where are you with this hot rhythm here?

Oh, D-, oh, DJ

Oh, D-, oh, DJ

Bota um funk nessa porra

Play a funk beat on this stuff

Bota, bota, bota amor, bota, bota

Drop it, drop it, drop the love, drop it, drop it

Bota um funk nessa porra

Play a funk beat on this stuff

Ai, caralho

Oh, damn

Mão no paredão

Hands on the wall

E rapidamente

And quickly

Minhas meninas vão no chão

My girls hit the floor

Oh, D-, oh, DJ

Oh, D-, oh, DJ

Bota um funk nessa porra

Play a funk beat on this stuff

(Vai, vai, vai)

(Go, go, go)

Pedro Sampaio, vai

Pedro Sampaio, go

Toda hora ela fala pra mim

Every time she tells me

Pra botar dizendo que ama

To dance, saying she loves it

Toda hora ela fala pra mim

Every time she tells me

Bota um funk nessa porra

Play a funk beat on this stuff

Deixa de ser sem vergonha

Stop being so shameless

Bota um funk nessa porra

Play a funk beat on this stuff

Sua safada, sua malandra

You sneaky one, you bad girl

Bota um funk nessa porra

Play a funk beat on this stuff

Mau elemento que eu sei que ela gosta

The bad element I know she likes

Bota um funk nessa porra

Play a funk beat on this stuff

Mau, mau elemento quе eu sei que еla gosta

Bad, bad element I know she likes

Ai, caralho

Oh, damn

Jura pra mim, você jura (eu juro)

Are you serious? You swear? (I swear)

Jura pra mim, você jura (eu juro)

Are you serious? You swear? (I swear)

Vou botar o que tu gosta pra fora

I’m going to give you what you like

Tu ajoelha e rebola tua bunda (vai)

You kneel and shake your butt (go)

Jura pra mim, você jura (eu juro)

Are you serious? You swear? (I swear)

Jura pra mim, você jura (eu juro)

Are you serious? You swear? (I swear)

Vou botar o que tu gosta pra fora

I’m going to give you what you like

Tu ajoelha e rebola tua bunda

You kneel and shake your butt

Ai, caralho

Oh, damn

Mão no paredão

Hands on the wall

E rapidamente

And quickly

Minhas meninas vão no chão

My girls hit the floor

Chão, chão, chão, chão, chão, chão,chão

Floor, floor, floor, floor, floor, floor, floor

Chão, chão, chão, chão, chão

Floor, floor, floor, floor, floor

A partir de agora, o baile vai começar

From now on, the party’s gonna start

Oh, D-, oh, DJ

Oh, D-, oh, DJ

Toda hora ela fala pra mim

Every time she tells me

Bota um funk nessa porra

Play a funk beat on this stuff
