[English]

Who is that girl in red?

She rode by on her powerful machine, everyone wanted to see

She's the one who caught the young villain's eye

With a Camaro's swagger, wearing expensive brands

Her powerful machine, no need to mention, made me fall for her, oh

But hold on, I'm not looking for a relationship

Tough, tough for my homies

They just want to mess around

Call the brunette over

She's the highlight, making the whole party notice

Brunette with straight hair

I'm not committed

I'm just here to introduce myself

And then take you

On a slick ride on my powerful machine

Convertible, I know you want that

It's me, making things happen

My powerful machine is cruising on the streets

Look, everyone will be impressed

When they see the girl riding the powerful machine

Choking up, the common folk will wonder

Who is that girl in red?

She rode by on her powerful machine, everyone wanted to see

She's the one who caught the young villain's eye

Who caught the young villain's eye

Who is that girl in red?

She rode by on her powerful machine, everyone wanted to see

She's the one who caught the young villain's eye

With a Camaro's swagger, wearing expensive brands

Her powerful machine, no need to mention, made me fall for her, oh

But hold on, I'm not looking for a relationship

Tough, tough for my homies

They just want to mess around

Call the brunette over

She's the highlight, making the whole party notice

Brunette with straight hair

I'm not committed

I'm just here to introduce myself

And then take you

On a slick ride on my powerful machine

Convertible, I know you want that

It's me, making things happen

My powerful machine is cruising on the streets

Look, everyone will be impressed

When they see the girl riding the powerful machine

Choking up, the common folk will wonder

Who is that girl in red?

She rode by on her powerful machine, everyone wanted to see

She's the one who caught the young villain's eye

Who caught the young villain's eye

Who is that girl in red?

She rode by on her powerful machine, everyone wanted to see

She's the one who caught the young villain's eye

With a Camaro's swagger, wearing expensive brands

Her powerful machine, no need to mention, made me fall for her, oh

Quem é essa menina de vermelho?

Passou de robô, todo mundo quis ver

Ela que mexeu com o menorzão vilão

Folga de Camaro, tem grife mais cara

Robô, nem se fala, me apaixonou, uô

Mas calma aí, não tô pra relação

Forte, forte pros parça' bigode

Trote é o que elas quer dar

Chama a morena pro abate

Ela é o destaque pro baile todo reparar

Morena do cabelo liso

Não sou envolvido

Só tô aqui pra me apresentar

E depois te levar

No pião de cavalo chave

Conversível, sei que cê quer isso

Eu memo', que tá botando o coro pra torar

Cavalo tá andando nas pista

Olha, todos vai se impressionar

Quando ver a mina pilotando o robô

Sufocando, o zé pova' vai se perguntar
