[English]

Hello, baby, pack your bags, we're going to Malibu

Let’s live a life of dreams, just you and me

Hello, baby, pack your bags, we're going to Malibu

Let’s live a life of dreams, just you and me

We grew up, we created, we played in the zone

My mom and your mom’s stories are endless

No one knows which heart is in charge

What God brings together, no man can separate

Come to me, give me a sweet kiss

If it’s for us to live, we live it fully

What I have inside is strong

It’s only you who has the key to my heart

Don’t hesitate, pack your bags, let’s go

Just you and me in Malibu, my king

Hello, baby, pack your bags, we're going to Malibu

Let’s live a life of dreams, just you and me

Hello, baby, pack your bags, we're going to Malibu

Let’s live a life of dreams, just you and me

If you want, we’ll go cruising in Malibu

If you want, we’ll go, baby, just you and me

I’ve got everything ready, baby, what’s up?

No empty talk, we’re not just anyone

I’ve already chosen you, baby

Just let me make you mine

I’ve already chosen you, baby

You can ask for anything you want

I’ve already chosen you, baby

Just let me make you mine

I’ve already chosen you, baby

You can ask for anything you want

Hello, baby, pack your bags, we're going to Malibu

Let’s live a life of dreams, just you and me

Hello, baby, pack your bags, we're going to Malibu

Let’s live a life of dreams, just you and me

Come to me, give me a sweet kiss

If it’s for us to live, we live it fully

What I have inside is strong

It’s only you who has the key to my heart

Don’t hesitate, pack your bags, let’s go

Just you and me in Malibu, my king

Alô, bebê, prepara a mala, vamos pra Malibu

Vamos viver uma vida de sonhos, só eu e tu

Alô, bebê, prepara a mala, vamos pra Malibu

Vamos viver uma vida de sonhos, só eu e tu

Nu nasi, nu kria, nu brinka na zóna

Nha mai ku bu mai di sedu es da kónta

Dja ka sabedu korason ki ta manda

Kel ki Deus djunta, ómi ka ta sipara

Txiga na mi bu da-m un beju dósi

S'é pa nu vivi, nu vivi é gósi

Kuzé ki N ten déntu petu é fórti

É so bo ki ten txabi di nha kófri

Ka bu tuntunhi, ruma mala ben nu bai

So mi ku bo na Malibu, mó nho rei
