[English]

She's the most beautiful girl

I've ever seen in my life

Her curves

Make me lose my mind right away

When she touches me

She takes control of me

She fascinates me

With just a simple kiss on the lips

No one can fool me

That you're the girl who makes me

Feel warm, feel love, feel good

They can say whatever they want

But I don't care

With you, I know I can go further

This girl is so beautiful, oh

She makes me do things

That I've never done in my life

Beautiful, oh

I'm enjoying doing things

That I've never done for anyone, no

I don't care

If I'm spending money for no reason

It's only with her

That I see my life as good

She's so beautiful

She lights up my life

Only God knows

How happy I am

No one can fool me

That you're the girl who makes me

Feel warm, feel love, feel good

They can say whatever they want

But I don't care

With you, I know I can go further

This girl is so beautiful, oh

She makes me do things

That I’ve never done in my life

Beautiful, oh

I'm enjoying doing things

That I've never done for anyone, no

Ela é a miúda mais linda

Que eu já vi na minha vida

As curvas dela

Me fazem enlouquecer logo na hora

Quando ela me toca

Ela me domina

Ela me fascina

Com um simples beijo na boca

Ninguém me engana

Que tu és a miúda que me faz

Sentir calor, sentir o amor, sentir-me bem

Podem falar o que quiserem

Mas eu não me importo

Contigo eu sei que eu vou mais além

Essa miúda é linda, ô
