[English]

It's over and everyone knows

You filled your mouth claiming you're happy to lose me – that your kiss will become a story

But the story was me showing up hand in hand with someone else

Taunting you that I’ve moved on – I know it hurt

You even stopped talking, your face went cold, and you kept staring at me

I saw from afar your comeback – coming up from the water, watching mine sink

Why did your shine disappear when you saw me?

Your night ended, embarrassing yourself live is not enough for a talker

Why did your shine disappear when you saw me?

And luckily for me, a barking dog doesn’t bite – a dog that barks doesn’t bite

Too beautiful

[Portuguese]

Terminou e espalhou pra todo mundo

Encheu boca dizer que tá feliz em me perder E que seu beijo vai virar assunto

Mas o assunto fui eu aparecendo de mãos dadas com alguém

Jogando na sua cara que eu te superei Doeu eu sei

Até parou de conversar fechou a cara e não parava de me olhar

Eu vi de longe sua volta por cima indo água a baixo assistindo minha

Por que quando cê me viu seu brilho sumiu

Sua noite acabou, passar vergonha ao vivo é pouco pra falador

Por que quando cê me viu, seu brilho sumiu

E pra minha sorte cão que late não morde Cão que late não morde

Linda demais
