[English]

She's bold, overbearing when she wants to be

She's trained, she knows how it is

But I'm hooked on the force of this woman

(But I'm hooked on the force of this woman)

Hey, take it, take it, take it, you bad girl

Take it, take it, take it (D-D-Daytrip took it to ten)

You bad girl

Take it, take it, take it, you bad girl

Take it, take it, take it, you bad girl

Take what you want, perverse one

Take what you want, perverse one

Perverse, 'verse

Perverse, 'verse

'Verse, 'verse, perverse

'Verse, 'verse, 'verse

J Balvin, man (perverse, 'verse)

Pedro Sampaio, go!

Police

And against the wall, I made her mine

Damn alcohol, it’s got me in filth

No one told me (tó')

I was the one who gave it all (with all)

I know the pose you liked, after-club flirting

I don’t want anyone else, you’re the best

That panty, I’ve got it unlocked

That bronzed booty is from Janeiro

And I work it like a Glock (Glock)

She's bold, overbearing when she wants to be (leggo')

She's trained, she knows how it is

But I'm hooked on the force of this woman

(But I'm hooked on the force of this woman)

Hey, take it, take it, take it, you bad girl

Take it, take it, take it, you bad girl

Take it, take it, take it, you bad girl

Take it, take it, take it, you bad girl

Take what you want, perverse one

Take what you want, perverse one

Perverse, 'verse

Perverse, 'verse

'Verse, 'verse, perverse

(The big dogs have arrived)

Key Grammar Structures

• Ela é treinada, sabe como é

  ➔ Passive Voice

  ➔ The passive voice is formed with the verb "ser" (to be) followed by the past participle of the main verb ("treinada"). It emphasizes the action received rather than the agent performing it. Here, "ela" (she) is the one who receives the action of being trained.

• Mas eu me amarro na marra dessa mulher

  ➔ Pronominal Verb (Reflexive)

  ➔ "Amarrar-se" is a pronominal verb, indicated by the reflexive pronoun "me" before the verb. It means "to tie oneself" or, in this colloquial context, "to be really into/fond of something/someone." The action reflects back on the subject.

• Toma o que tu quer, perversa

  ➔ Relative Pronoun 'o que' + Informal 'tu'

  ➔ "O que" functions as a compound relative pronoun, meaning "that which" or "what." It refers to an unspecified antecedent. "Tu" is an informal second-person singular pronoun, often used in certain regions of Brazil instead of "você."

• quando quer

  ➔ Subordinate Clause of Time/Condition

  ➔ "Quando" introduces a subordinate clause indicating a temporal condition. It means "when" and the verb "quer" (wants) is in the indicative mood, describing a specific time or circumstance.

• Y contra la pared, la hice mía

  ➔ 'Hacer' + Direct Object Pronoun + Possessive Adjective

  ➔ This construction uses the verb "hacer" (to make) followed by a direct object pronoun ("la" - her) and a possessive adjective ("mía" - mine). It means "I made her mine" or "I claimed her as mine."

• Nadie me contó (tó')

  ➔ Indefinite Negative Pronoun + Indirect Object Pronoun

  ➔ "Nadie" means "nobody" or "no one" and functions as a negative indefinite pronoun. "Me" is an indirect object pronoun, indicating who received the action of "contar" (to tell). So, "Nobody told me."

• Fui yo el que te dio con to'

  ➔ Emphatic Structure ('Ser' + Subject Pronoun + 'el que')

  ➔ This is an emphatic construction used to stress the subject performing the action. "Fui yo el que" translates to "It was I who..." or "I was the one who..." It highlights "yo" (I) as the agent of the action "te dio" (gave you).

• No quiero a otra, tú eres top

  ➔ Personal 'a'

  ➔ The personal "a" is used before a direct object when that object is a specific person or, in this case, a personified entity ("otra" - another woman). It marks the direct object as human or treated as such.

• Ese panty lo tengo unlocked

  ➔ 'Tener' + Direct Object Pronoun + Adjective/Past Participle

  ➔ This structure uses the verb "tener" (to have) followed by a direct object pronoun ("lo" - it) and an adjective or past participle ("unlocked"). It expresses a state or condition of the object, meaning "I have it unlocked."

• Sé la pose que te gustó, bellaqueo después del club

  ➔ Relative Clause with 'que' + Indirect Object Pronoun

  ➔ "Que" introduces a relative clause modifying "la pose." Here, "que" functions as a relative pronoun. "Te" is an indirect object pronoun indicating who liked the pose. The verb "gustar" (to like) functions similarly to "to please."
