Lyrics:

[Português]

[English]

Tô virado já tem uns três dias

I've been up for about three days now

Tô bebendo o que eu jamais bebi

I'm drinking what I never drank

Vou falar o que eu nunca falei

I'm going to say what I never said

É a primeira e a última vez

It's the first and last time

Eu sosseguei, ontem foi a despedida

I settled down, yesterday was the farewell

Na balada, dessa vida de solteiro

To the party, to this single life

Eu sosseguei, mudei a rota e meus planos

I settled down, I changed my route and my plans

O que eu tava procurando eu achei em você

What I was looking for, I found in you

Se quer cinema, eu sou o par perfeito

If you want to go to the movies, I'm the perfect match

Quer curtir balada, já tem seu parceiro

Want to enjoy the club, you already have your partner

Ou ficar em casa amando o dia inteiro

Or stay at home loving all day long

Dividir comigo o seu brigadeiro

Share your brigadeiro with me

E nessa vida agora somos dois, três, quatro

And in this life now we are two, three, four

Quantos você quiser

As many as you want

A partir de hoje

From today on

Eu sou o homem de uma só mulher

I am a one-woman man

...

...

Eu sosseguei, ontem foi a despedida

I settled down, yesterday was the farewell

Na balada, dessa vida de solteiro

To the party, to this single life

Eu sosseguei, mudei a rota e meus planos

I settled down, I changed my route and my plans

O que eu tava procurando eu achei em você

What I was looking for, I found in you

Se quer cinema, eu sou o par perfeito

If you want to go to the movies, I'm the perfect match

Quer curtir balada, já tem seu parceiro

Want to enjoy the club, you already have your partner

Ou ficar em casa amando o dia inteiro

Or stay at home loving all day long

Dividir comigo o seu brigadeiro

Share your brigadeiro with me

E nessa vida agora somos dois, três, quatro

And in this life now we are two, three, four

Quantos você quiser

As many as you want

A partir de hoje

From today on

Eu sou o homem de uma só mulher

I am a one-woman man

Se quer cinema, eu sou o par perfeito

If you want to go to the movies, I'm the perfect match

Quer curtir balada, já tem seu parceiro (vou com você)

Want to enjoy the club, you already have your partner (I'll go with you)

Ou ficar em casa amando o dia inteiro

Or stay at home loving all day long

Dividir comigo o seu brigadeiro

Share your brigadeiro with me

Nessa vida agora somos dois, três, quatro

In this life now we are two, three, four

Quantos você quiser

As many as you want

A partir de hoje

From today on

Eu sou o homem de uma só mulher

I am a one-woman man

Eu sosseguei, eu sosseguei

I settled down, I settled down

Eu sosseguei

I settled down

Sosseguei

Settled down

Brigado, muito obrigado

Thank you, thank you very much
