[English]

I've been up for about three days now

I'm drinking what I never drank

I'm going to say what I never said

It's the first and last time

I settled down, yesterday was the farewell

To the party, to this single life

I settled down, I changed my route and my plans

What I was looking for, I found in you

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

Want to enjoy the club, you already have your partner

Or stay at home loving all day long

Share your brigadeiro with me

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

As many as you want

From today on

I am a one-woman man

...

I settled down, yesterday was the farewell

To the party, to this single life

I settled down, I changed my route and my plans

What I was looking for, I found in you

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

Want to enjoy the club, you already have your partner

Or stay at home loving all day long

Share your brigadeiro with me

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

As many as you want

From today on

I am a one-woman man

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

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

Or stay at home loving all day long

Share your brigadeiro with me

In this life now we are two, three, four

As many as you want

From today on

I am a one-woman man

I settled down, I settled down

I settled down

Settled down

Thank you, thank you very much

...

[Portuguese]

Tô virado já tem uns três dias

Tô bebendo o que eu jamais bebi

Vou falar o que eu nunca falei

É a primeira e a última vez

Eu sosseguei, ontem foi a despedida

Na balada, dessa vida de solteiro

Eu sosseguei, mudei a rota e meus planos

O que eu tava procurando eu achei em você

Se quer cinema, eu sou o par perfeito

Quer curtir balada, já tem seu parceiro

Ou ficar em casa amando o dia inteiro

Dividir comigo o seu brigadeiro

E nessa vida agora somos dois, três, quatro

Quantos você quiser

A partir de hoje

Eu sou o homem de uma só mulher

Eu sosseguei, ontem foi a despedida

Na balada, dessa vida de solteiro

Eu sosseguei, mudei a rota e meus planos

O que eu tava procurando eu achei em você

Se quer cinema, eu sou o par perfeito

Quer curtir balada, já tem seu parceiro

Ou ficar em casa amando o dia inteiro

Dividir comigo o seu brigadeiro

E nessa vida agora somos dois, três, quatro

Quantos você quiser

A partir de hoje

Eu sou o homem de uma só mulher

Se quer cinema, eu sou o par perfeito

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

Ou ficar em casa amando o dia inteiro

Dividir comigo o seu brigadeiro

Nessa vida agora somos dois, três, quatro

Quantos você quiser

A partir de hoje

Eu sou o homem de uma só mulher

Eu sosseguei, eu sosseguei

Eu sosseguei

Sosseguei

Brigado, muito obrigado
