[English]

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air

This is Vitinho Imperador

It's sound system music

That little solo that will stick in your mind, see?

Let's go, Deyb boy, make it loud

Oh!

It's been a long time since I saw anyone

To move this cowboy so much

The last time I said: My dear

I wasn't met with the same affection

You have eyes the color of the sea

It's as addicting as the taste of honey

A stunning butt

That takes me to heaven

I was fixated on you when I saw you at the party

With confident posture and a captivating gaze

I imagined the taste of your kiss

I fell in love

I already want this bad girl for myself

If it's a spell, I'm already enchanted

I'm going to get close to dance really close

I fell in love (no air, no air)

It's been a long time since I saw anyone

To move this cowboy so much

The last time I said: My dear

I wasn't met with the same affection

You have eyes the color of the sea

It's as addicting as the taste of honey

A stunning butt

That takes me to heaven

I was fixated on you when I saw you at the party

With confident posture and a captivating gaze

I imagined the taste of your kiss

I fell in love

I already want this bad girl for myself

If it's a spell, I'm already enchanted

I'm going to get close to dance really close

I fell i... Easy now, easy now

Like this, like this, like this

I was fixated on you when I saw you at the party

With confident posture and a captivating gaze

I imagined the taste of your kiss

I fell in love

I already want this bad girl for myself

If it's a spell, I'm already enchanted

I'm going to get close to dance really close

I fell i... hey!

I was fixated on you when I saw you at the party

With confident posture and a captivating gaze

I imagined the taste of your kiss

I fell in love

I already want this bad girl for myself

If it's a spell, I'm already enchanted

I'm going to get close to dance really close

I fell in love (no air)

Fell in love, fell in love, fell in love, oh (no air)

I fell in love (no air, no air)

I fell in love

...

[Portuguese]

(Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air)

Isso é Vitinho Imperador

É som de paredão

O solinho que vai ficar na sua mente aí, ó

Bora, Deyb boy, bota pra estalar

Ó!

Fazia tempo que eu não via ninguém

Pra mexer tanto com o vaqueiro aqui

Última vez que eu falei: Meu bem

Não fui tão bem correspondido assim

Cê tem os olhos como a cor do mar

É viciante igual o sabor do mel

Uma raba que é de alucinar

E me leva ao céu

Vidrei em tu quando eu te vi no piseiro

Posturadona e um olhar bandoleiro

Imaginei o gostinho do teu beijo

Eu me apaixonei

Essa bandida eu já quero pra mim

Se for feitiço, eu já me enfeiticei

Vou chegar junto pra dançar coladinho

Eu me apaixonei (no air, no air)

Fazia tempo que eu não via ninguém

Pra mexer tanto com o vaqueiro aqui

A última vez que eu falei: Meu bem

Não fui tão bem correspondido assim

Cê tem os olhos como a cor do mar

É viciante igual o sabor do mel

Uma raba' que é de alucinar

Que me leva ao céu

Vidrei em tu quando eu te vi no piseiro

Posturadona e um olhar bandoleiro

Imaginei o gostinho do teu beijo

Eu me apaixonei

Essa bandida eu já quero pra mim

Se for feitiço, eu já me enfeiticei

Vou chegar junto pra dançar coladinho

Eu me apai... segura baixinho, segura baixinho

Assim, assim, assim

Vidrei em tu quando eu te vi no piseiro

Posturadona e um olhar bandoleiro

Imaginei o gostinho do teu beijo

Eu me apaixonei

Essa bandida eu já quero pra mim

Se for feitiço, eu já me enfeiticei

Vou chegar junto pra dançar coladinho

Eu me apa... aí!

Vidrei em tu quando eu te vi no piseiro

Posturadona e um olhar bandoleiro

Imaginei o gostinho do teu beijo

Eu me apaixonei

Essa bandida eu já quero pra mim

Se for feitiço, eu já me enfeiticei

Vou chegar junto pra dançar coladinho

Eu me apaixonei (no air)

Apaixonei, apaixonei, apaixonei, uô (no air)

Eu me apaixonei (no air, no air)

Eu me apaixonei
