And Jorge! Ah (wow)
Talk to me!
Come on, Thiagão!
Just like this
Sorry for showing up like this
Forgive my rough look
Wearing a loose shirt and a backward cap
Right when your favorite soap opera starts
It’s been three days I haven't slept right
Your daughter left me like this
And the one thing she keeps saying is that you're strict
But today I won't accept a no to come home with me
Mrs. Maria
Let me date your daughter
Sorry for my boldness
This girl is like a drawing in the sky
Mrs. Maria
Let me date your daughter
Sorry for my boldness
This girl is like a drawing in the sky
That God painted and threw away the brush (wow)
Let's go, Thiagão!
It's you Jorge, go!
Come on, Mrs. Maria!
Hold on, Tobias!
Oh, Goiás!
Sorry for showing up like this
Forgive my rough look
Wearing a loose shirt and a backward cap
Right when your favorite soap opera starts
It’s been three days I haven't slept right
Your daughter left me like this
And the one thing she keeps saying is that you're strict
But today I won't accept a no to come home with me
Mrs. Maria
Let me date your daughter
Sorry for my boldness
This girl is like a drawing in the sky
Mrs. Maria
Let me date your daughter
Sorry for my boldness
This girl is a gift from the sky
That God painted and threw away the brush
Mrs. Maria
Let me date your daughter (leave, leave, leave)
Sorry for my boldness
This girl is a drawing from the sky (go, Jorge!)
Oh, Mrs. Maria
Let me date your daughter
Sorry for my boldness
This girl is a drawing in the sky
That God painted and threw away the brush
Yeah! Thanks, Jorge!
Thanks, man, it’s done now, dad
What did you do to Mrs. Maria to make her so stubborn?
Let me date your daughter, Mrs. Maria, talk to me
Jorge and Thiago Brava!
It’s us, thanks, dad!
Thanks (it's us)
