[English]

She knocked them down like dominoes

Miss loves to have fun

She knocked them down like dominoes

What's the point of having ideas

Don't try, she'll have you

It's a sun, but watch out for the storm

Hey ola, Maria

I have no more time, tell me what hour

My pretty, pretty

Stop stacking them up

My pretty, pretty

Stop stacking them up

She knocked them down like dominoes

Your zipper on her, you'll be paralyzed

She knocked them down like dominoes

Even the stone hearts here end up broken

You're on the ground, ground, ground

She’s playing with you in bed

You're on the ground, ground, ground

She doesn’t care if you have no money

If all men are the same

Why try them all

How do you expect her to find her match

Without even trying

She’s in a bad way

She puts us all in the same bag

She takes us as her business

Every day she changes her look

My pretty, pretty

Stop stacking them up

My pretty, pretty

Stop stacking them up

She knocked them down like dominoes

Your zipper on her, you'll be paralyzed

She knocked them down like dominoes

Even the stone hearts here end up broken

You're on the ground, ground, ground

She’s playing with you in bed

You're on the ground, ground, ground

She doesn’t care if you have no money

My pretty, all your plans have failed

All your vices, I’ve outsmarted them

You thought I’d give in

Your fear of falling, I’ll let you drop

It’s better if we just leave it at that

She tells me don’t leave her

You're only good for a rebound

It’s over, let's leave it there

She knocked them down like dominoes

She’s playing with you in bed

She knocked them down like dominoes

She doesn’t care if you have no money

She knocked them down like dominoes

She’s playing with you in bed

She knocked them down like dominoes

She doesn’t care if you have no money

Your zipper on her, you'll be paralyzed

She knocked them down like dominoes

Even the stone hearts here end up broken

You're on the ground, ground, ground

She’s playing with you in bed

You're on the ground, ground, ground

She doesn’t care if you have no money

She knocked them down like dominoes

Your zipper on her, you'll be paralyzed

She knocked them down like dominoes

Even the stone hearts here end up broken

You're on the ground, ground, ground

She’s playing with you in bed

You're on the ground, ground, ground

She doesn’t care if you have no money

Ela nao liga se nao tens grana

...

[French]

Elle les a fait tomber comme des dominos

Mademoiselle aime bien s'amuser

Elle les a fait tomber comme des dominos

A quoi bon se faire des idées

N'essaies pas, elle t'aura

C'est un soleil mais fais gaffe à l'orage

Hey ola, Maria

Nao tenho tempo mais dis moi que hora

Ma jolie, jolie

Arrête de les accumuler

Ma jolie, jolie

Arrête de les accumuler

Elle les a fait tomber comme des dominos

Ta braguette sur elle, t'as fini paralysé

Elle les a fait tomber comme des dominos

Même les coeurs de pierre ici ont fini brisés

T'as fini au sol, sol, sol

Ela brinca contigo na

T'as fini au sol, sol, sol

Ela nao liga se nao tens grana

Si les homme sont tous les mêmes

Pourquoi tous les essayer

Comment veux-tu qu'elle trouve sa paire

Sans même l'essayer

Elle est mal dans ses baskets

Elle nous met tous dans le même sac

Elle nous prend pour ses affaires

Tous les jours elle change de sape

Ma jolie, jolie

Arrête de les accumuler

Ma jolie, jolie

Arrête de les accumuler

Elle les a fait tomber comme des dominos

Ta braguette sur elle, t'as fini paralysé

Elle les a fait tomber comme des dominos

Même les coeurs de pierre ici ont fini brisés

T'as fini au sol, sol, sol

Ela brinca contigo na cama

T'as fini au sol, sol, sol

Ela nao liga se nao tens grana

Ma jolie, tous tes plans ont échoué

Tous tes vices moi je les ai déjoués

Tu pensais que j'allais succomber

Ta peur de la chute je vais te laisser tomber

Ce serai mieux qu'on en reste là

Elle me dit ne me laisse pas

T'es bien que pour une rée-soi

C'est fini on en reste là

Elle les a fait tomber comme des dominos

Ela brinca contigo na cama

Elle les a fait tomber comme des dominos

Ela nao liga se nao tens grana

Elle les a fait tomber comme des dominos

Ela brinca contigo na cama

Elle les a fait tomber comme des dominos

Ela nao liga se nao tens grana

Elle les a fait tomber comme des dominos

Ta braguette sur elle, t'as fini paralysé

Elle les a fait tomber comme des dominos

Même les coeurs de pierre ici ont fini brisés

T'as fini au sol, sol, sol

Ela brinca contigo na cama

T'as fini au sol, sol, sol

Ela nao liga se nao tens grana

Elle les a fait tomber comme des dominos

Ta braguette sur elle, t'as fini paralysé

Elle les a fait tomber comme des dominos

Même les coeurs de pierre ici ont fini brisés

T'as fini au sol, sol, sol

Ela brinca contigo na cama

T'as fini au sol, sol, sol

Ela nao liga se nao tens grana
