[English]

She has no idea

That the idea I have is beautiful

After the corona and the vaccine

Swapping the couch for the beach

Breaking out of the routine

That life becomes two days again

Yeah

And that Carnival gives us samba all year long

Let’s go out, baby, I can already see us in Bali

Asking for another bottle for our sunset

I know it’s still early

And it’s unlikely

But let me dream while the heat isn’t here yet

With you, I want everything, everything, everything in 2021

With you, I want everything, everything, everything in 2021

With you, I want everything, everything, everything in 2021

Everything, everything, everything in 2021

I’m tired of being stuck at home

I’ve been in quarantine so long I even name the walls

While this all passes

Watching TV just bores me

The pantry door keeps opening on its own and I don’t understand myself

The year is new but doesn’t feel different

Desperation hits, and only you give me comfort

The heat rises, it’s hot

And suddenly it’s just the two of us

I want to learn with you, baby, come on

So teach me how to see that life is easy if you're the company

And Carnival gives us samba all year long (Let’s go)

With you, I want everything, everything, everything in 2021

With you, I want everything, everything, everything in 2021

With you, I want

With you, I want everything, everything, everything in 2021

Punch punch, hit hit, punch punch, turn around

Punch hits, punch turns, punch hits, turns around

Of all the girls in the world, you’re the hottest

With you by my side, I’m better every day

And we dance in the living room

Hand in hand

Sharing another sunset

I know it’s still early and unlikely

But let me dream while the heat isn’t here yet

With you, I want everything, everything, everything in 2021

With you, I want everything, everything, everything in 2021

With you, I want everything, everything, everything in 2021

Everything, everything, everything in 2021

With you, I want everything, everything, everything in 2021

With you, I want everything, everything, everything in 2021

With you, I want everything, everything, everything in 2021

With you, I want everything, everything, everything in 2021

With you, I want everything, everything, everything in 2021

Everything, everything, everything in 2021

With you, I want

With you, I want

With you, I want everything, everything, everything in 2021

Everything, everything, everything in 2021

[Portuguese]

Ela não ideia

Que a ideia que eu faço é linda

Depois do corona e da vacina

A trocar o sofá pela praia

Saltar da rotina

Que a vida volte a ser dois dias

Yeah

E que o carnaval nos dê samba a vida inteira

Bora sair da sala baby eu já nos vejo em Bali

A pedir outra garrafa para o nosso por-do-sol

Eu sei que ainda é cedo

E que é pouco provável

Mas deixa-me sonhas enquanto não chega o calor

Contigo eu quero tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Contigo eu quero tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Contigo eu quero tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Tou cansado de tar em casa

Já confinei tanto que até já dou nomes às paredes

Enquanto isto não passa

Ver TV já cansa

A porta da despensa já se tá a abrir sem querer e eu não me entendo

O ano é novo e nem parece diferente

Desespero e só tu me dás alento

O clima sobe tá quente

E nós os dois de repente

Quero aprender contigo baby vem

Então ensina-me a ver que a vida é fácil se tu fores a companhia

E o carnaval dá-nos samba a vida inteira (Bora)

Contigo eu quero tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Contigo eu quero tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Contigo eu quero

Contigo eu quero tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Soco soco, bate bate, soco soco, vira vira,

Soco bate, soco vira, soco bate vira

De todas do mundo és a mais gira

Contigo ao meu lado sou melhor todos os dias

E dançamos na sala

Juntos de mãos dadas

Damos uma vida para mais um por-do-sol

Eu sei que ainda é cedo e que é pouco provável

Mas deixa-me sonhar enquanto não chega o calor

Contigo eu quero tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Contigo eu quero tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Contigo eu quero tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Contigo eu quero tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Contigo eu quero tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Contigo eu quero tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Contigo eu quero tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Contigo eu quero tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Contigo eu quero

Contigo eu quero

Contigo eu quero tudo tudo tudo em 2021

Tudo tudo tudo em 2021
