[English]

And I keep moving forward

And today nothing will shake me

Without looking back I go in faith and no

Saw everything around me was collapsing

Like a dream I woke up in another place

And I felt the star shone, and nothing stops it

Six in the morning and the sun touches me

With the peace that renews everything around me

The sound all night with the moon reflecting

At the end of the tunnel, the light that surrounds my path

Everything's ready for the trip to take off

And in the luggage brings luck to add up

Led by the sensation of freedom

Limits your modesty and releases your libido

And the game has turned

And the house fell down

Raising hell at a thousand miles an hour and nothing shakes it

And the game has turned

The mind opened, I'm going to fly

The world turns and always puts everything in its place

...

Without regretting it, I'll keep going

Maintaining balance is being in the breeze, levitating

With my beautiful girl in God's peace

What goes up to the mind makes my path yours

Everything is ready with your feet in the sand

And the city's glow ignites

Follows life revering the sound of the sea

I'll go with the certainty that the sun will guide me

And the game has turned

And the house fell down

Raising hell at a thousand miles an hour and nothing shakes it

And the game has turned

The mind opened, I'm going to fly

The world turns and always puts everything in its place

...

Keep cruising on your bike

At night I enter the scene and the vibe is good

Burning Babylon

Legalize it, I'll make a sound

I won't die on the beach, I know how to venture

I'm a quiet eater, but I know when to expose

That she is completely immoral, just looking at her makes me sick

The fit was perfect, the tuning surreal

Daring new school makes history like the Lords of Dogtown

And the game has turned

And the house fell down

Raising hell at a thousand miles an hour and nothing shakes it

And the game has turned

The mind opened, I'm going to fly

The world turns and always puts everything in its place

...

[Portuguese]

E eu sigo em frente

E hoje nada vai me abalar

Sem olhar pra trás eu vou na fé e não

Vi que tudo ao meu redor ia desmoronar

Como um sonho eu acordei em outro lugar

E eu senti que a estrela brilhou, e nada faz parar

Seis horas da manhã e o sol me toca

Com a paz que renova tudo em minha volta

O som a noite inteira com a lua refletindo

No fim do túnel a luz que cerca o meu caminho

Já ta tudo pronto pra trip decolar

E na bagagem traz sorte pra somar

Pela sensação de liberdade é conduzido

Limita o seu pudor e libera seu libido

E o jogo virou

E a casa caiu

Causando a mil por hora e nada abala

E o jogo virou

A mente se abriu, eu vou voar

O mundo gira e bota sempre tudo no lugar

Sem me arrepender, vou continuar

Manter o equilíbrio é estar na brisa, levitar

Com minha bela na paz de Deus

O que sobe pra mente faz do meu caminho o seu

Tá tudo pronto com os pés na areia

E o brilho da cidade incendeia

Segue a vida reverenciando o som do mar

Vou na certeza que o sol vai me guiar

E o jogo virou

E a casa caiu

Causando a mil por hora e nada abala

E o jogo virou

A mente se abriu, eu vou voar

O mundo gira e bota sempre tudo no lugar

Segue no rolé de bike

À noite eu entro em cena e o clima é bom

Queimando a Babilônia

Legalize, eu faço um som

Não morro na praia, eu sei me aventurar

Sou come-quieto, mas sei bem quando explanar

Que ela é toda imoral, de olhar já passo mal

O encaixe foi perfeito, a sintonia surreal

Ousada nova escola faz história estilo Reis de Dogtown

E o jogo virou

E a casa caiu

Causando a mil por hora e nada abala

E o jogo virou

A mente se abriu, eu vou voar

O mundo gira e bota sempre tudo no lugar
