[English]

Baby, where are you going?

I don't understand the rush

When PRISCILLA arrives, that's when the party starts

My spotlight is worth a lot, I'm not just a party accessory

Turn up the bass because today she just

Wants to dance, wants to dance

Today she just wants to dance, wants to dance

Today she just wants to dance, wants to dance

Today she just wants to dance, wants to dance

Furious, bold

This woman is very dangerous

My blood is Latino

Leaves foreigners in awe

A very rare event

A night with a starry sky

Neither Van Gogh nor Picasso

It was mom who painted this picture

Wants to dance? Wants to dance?

The Tigrão will teach you

Go down, come up slowly

In the end, just let loose

Wants to dance? Wants to dance?

The Tigrão will teach you

Go down, come up slowly

In the end, just let loose

Wants to dance, wants to dance

Today she just wants to dance, wants to dance

Today she just wants to dance, wants to dance

Today she just wants to dance, wants to dance

Wants to dance? Wants to dance?

Today I'm going to teach you

Go down, come up slowly

In the end, just let loose

Wants to dance? Wants to dance?

Today I'm going to teach you

Go down, come up slowly

In the end, just let loose

PRISCILLA, it's the Tigrão

Are you ready? Cutie!

Hold on!

Up, up!

...

[Portuguese]

Bebê, tu vai pra onde?

Não tô entendendo a pressa

Quando PRISCILLA chega, é que a festa começa

Meu close vale muito, eu não sou arroz de festa

Sobe o grave porque hoje ela só

Quer dançar, quer dançar

Hoje ela só quer dançar, quer dançar

Hoje ela só quer dançar, quer dançar

Hoje ela só quer dançar, quer dançar

Furiosa, afrontosa

Esta mujer e' muy peligrosa

O meu sangue é latino

Deixa gringo de queixo caído

Um evento muito raro

Uma noite de céu estrelado

Nem Van Gogh, nem Picasso

Foi mamãe quem pintou esse quadro

Quer dançar? Quer dançar?

O Tigrão vai te ensinar

Desce, sobe devagar

No final, é só jogar

Quer dançar? Quer dançar?

O Tigrão vai te ensinar

Desce, sobe devagar

No final, é só jogar

Quer dançar, quer dançar

Hoje ela só quer dançar, quer dançar

Hoje ela só quer dançar, quer dançar

Hoje ela só quer dançar, quer dançar

Quer dançar? Quer dançar?

Hoje eu vou te ensinar

Desce, sobe devagar

No final, é só jogar

Quer dançar? Quer dançar?

Hoje eu vou te ensinar

Desce, sobe devagar

No final, é só jogar

PRISCILLA, é o Tigrão

Tá ligado? Tchutchuca!

Segura!

Pra cima, pra cima!
