[English]

Hey, the good girl got mad, huh?

This is your moment to learn

Lesson of sitting on top of you

I'm feeling hungry, drop that beat for me

I started, now I’ll go until the end

First, tie your hair, bend your knees

Come on, squat down, go down, ahn

First, tie your hair, bend your knees

Come on, squat down, go down, ahn

(Take it) Squat and take (take, take, take)

Squat and take (Come on)

(Take it) Squat and take (take, take, take)

Squat and take (So go ahead)

Squat and take (take, take, take)

Squat and take

(Take it) Squat and take (take, take, take)

Squat and take (Come on, girl)

I love to see you sit

Don’t forget to warm up

Just don’t get hurt

When you start to go down

This girl drops and jumps

...

Move your body

Just like she lifts her hips

You’re messing with my heart

First, tie your hair, bend your knees

Come on, squat down, go down, ahn

First, tie your hair, bend your knees

Come on, squat down, go down, ahn

(Take it) Squat and take (take, take, take)

Squat and take (take)

(Take it) Squat and take (take, take, take)

Squat and take (So go ahead)

Squat and take (Take, take, take)

Squat and take (take)

Come on, squat down, go down, ahn

Comecei, agora eu vou até o fim

Primeiro prende o cabelo, flexiona o joelho

Vem no agachamento, desce, desce, ahn

Não esquece de aquecer

Faz a movimentação

Do jeitinho que ela empina
