(Carnival music)
Look what's happening there?
It's the carnival that's coming, you see?
Everyone, the world goes
Everyone, the world goes
Everyone, the world
Everyone goes, goes
Bring everyone
Call the people from home
The craziest friends
Call the guys
Everyone in the street
With heads turned
In colorful clothes
With a washed soul, oh, oh
Put it in the group that the party is on
Because when she passes, everyone follows
Everyone, the world goes
Everyone, the world goes
Everyone, the world goes
Pour a shot of kisses
Make my mouth wet
Love is making a party
It boils in my February
Owner of my heart
This is to crack the concrete of the ground
Pour a shot of kisses
Make my mouth wet
Love is making a party
It boils in my February
Owner of my heart
This is to crack the concrete of the ground
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Come see, come see
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Come see, come see
Hey, hey
Bring everyone
Call the people from home
The craziest friends
Call the guys
Everyone in the street
With heads turned
In colorful clothes
With a washed soul, oh, oh
Put it in the group that the party is on
Because when she passes, everyone follows
Everyone, the world goes
Everyone, the world goes
Everyone, the world goes
Pour a shot of kisses
Make my mouth wet
Love is making a party
It boils in my February
Owner of my heart
This is to crack the concrete of the ground, come!
Pour a shot of kisses
Make my mouth wet
Love is making a party
It boils in my February
Owner of my heart
This is to crack the concrete of the ground, go
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Come see, come see
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Come see, come see
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Come see, come see
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Come see, come see
Hey, hey
Everyone, the world goes
Everyone, the world goes
Everyone, the world
Everyone, everyone goes
(Carnival music!)
