JETSKI
Tu gosta, né? De correr perigo
Gosta, né? De um sexo proibido
Só quem vai ver sou eu e os golfinho'
As ondas batendo, ai que delícia o barulhinho

You like it, huh? That forbidden sex
Only me and the dolphins are gonna see it
Waves crashing, ah, what a sweet little sound

OLHADINHA (LITTLE LOOK)
Ô ô tudo começou
Quando ela jogou
Me apaixonou
Me apaixonou
Oh oh it all started
When she dropped it
Had me in love
Had me in love

“Olhadinha” is a flirty, high-energy invitation to fall in love on the dance floor. The story kicks off the moment the singer locks eyes with someone who instantly “jogou” (threw) a look his way and stole his heart. From that first spark, he can’t stop declaring how smitten he is. The lyrics are simple but contagious, mirroring the rush of meeting someone new and feeling an immediate, almost playful obsession.

The chorus doubles as both a confession and a set of dance instructions. “Dá aquela olhadinha / empina, vira, vira” encourages listeners to shoot a glance, arch the body, spin around, and keep the flirtation alive. With every repetition of “te amo,” the song mixes romantic exaggeration with party vibes, inviting everyone to join in, move to the beat, and maybe start their own whirlwind romance with just one daring look.

ESCADA DO PRÉDIO (STAIRWELL OF THE BUILDING)
Tu quer me encontrar, quero te ver
Vamo' se aventurar, eu e você
A escada do prédio já virou o nosso quarto
E em cada andar a gente fica ensopado
You wanna meet me, I wanna see you
Let's go on an adventure, me and you
The building's stairway's already our bedroom
And on every floor we get soaked

Pedro Sampaio and Marina Sena turn an ordinary apartment stairwell into the hottest spot in town. “Escada do Prédio” paints a vivid picture of two lovers who can’t wait to get indoors, surrendering to a spontaneous, fearless passion right there on every floor. The lyrics celebrate the thrill of doing something forbidden yet irresistibly fun: sneaking away, getting drenched in sweat, and enjoying the rush of being almost caught while still hidden from prying eyes.

Beneath the playful repetition and catchy beat, the song taps into the excitement of young love, urban adventure, and the power of living in the moment. It’s a bold anthem that invites the listener to embrace desire, laugh at the rules, and dance along to the pulse of Brazilian funk while imagining their own secret rendezvous.

LARISSA
Pedro Sampaio no beat envolvente
Misteriosa ela vem
De um jeito diferente
Ela reconhece o bonde mas já quer ficar com a gente
Pedro Sampaio with an engaging beat
Mysterious, she comes
In a different way
She recognizes the crew but already wants to be with us

Get ready to feel the heat with Pedro Sampaio's electrifying track, LARISSA! This song drops you right into a party where a mysterious and captivating woman appears. The singer is immediately drawn to her as she confidently joins his crew, or bonde, and singles him out with just a look and her incredible dancing.

The lyrics describe the powerful effect Larissa has on the singer. He's completely mesmerized by her dance moves, using phrases like rebolando desce deslizando (shaking it, she goes down, sliding) to paint a vivid picture. He feels so overwhelmed by her allure that he sings, "Desse jeito você acaba com minha vida" (This way, you'll be the end of my life), a dramatic way of saying she's driving him crazy with desire. The song is a celebration of intense, instant attraction and the magnetic power of dance.

Vai Menina (Go Girl)
Vai menina começa a jogar
Danadinha pra lá e pra cá
Vai menina não dá pra não dançar
Movimenta e joga pro ar
Go girl, start to dance
Naughty girl, back and forth
Go girl, you can't not dance
Move and throw it in the air

"Vai Menina" is a Brazilian funk carioca party anthem by DJ and producer Pedro Sampaio. The title itself means "go, girl," and the song is a simple, high-energy call to dance rather than a story.

Most of the lyrics are dance instructions repeated as the beat builds. "Senta" (sit) tells the crowd to drop low to the rhythm, a classic funk carioca move, and the closing lines about "bumbum no chão, bumbum pro ar" (butt on the floor, butt in the air) describe the dance itself.

Near the end, the producer tag "Pedro Sampaio no beat, ela vem" (Pedro Sampaio on the beat, here she comes) is a classic DJ signature, marking the track as unmistakably his.

Bota Pra Tremer (Make It Shake)
Pra todas as meninas que gostam de dançar
Repara não para, prepara pra jogar
Bota pra descer, bota pra descer
Bota pra subir, bota pra tremer
For all the girls who like to dance
Don't stop looking, get ready to play
Put it down, put it down
Put it up, make it shake

"Bota Pra Tremer" is a high-energy Brazilian funk track built for the dance floor. Pedro Sampaio calls every girl who loves to dance onto the floor, giving them a simple, playful instruction: get ready, drop it down, bring it back up, and let it shake.

The lyrics don't tell a story so much as set a rhythm. Short, repeated commands ("bota pra descer," "bota pra subir," "treme") work like a dance callout, matching the beat and keeping the energy climbing through the track.

It's a song about letting go and moving your body without overthinking it, pure funk carioca fun made to be felt more than analyzed.

Eita! (Wow!)
Jhama!
Pedro Sampaio no beat ela vem
'Tá brincando com fogo, queima
'Tá entrando no jogo, deixa
Jhama!
Pedro Sampaio on the beat she comes
Playing with fire, burns
Entering the game, let it

"Eita!" runs on one repeated exclamation — a Portuguese interjection that lands somewhere between "whoa" and "there it is," with no single English word for it. Pedro Sampaio and Jhama build the whole track around a woman on the dance floor: "Ela que desce e que sobe" (She goes down and goes up), "Me olha e o bumbum sacode" (Looks at me and shakes her butt), "Rebola e joga assim, me chama" (Swings and plays like this, calls me). The verses warn as much as they describe — "'Tá brincando com fogo, queima" (Playing with fire, burns) — before the beat drops back into the title shout.

It's a funk track built for movement rather than narrative: short commands, short reactions, and a hook simple enough to shout back.

SEQUÊNCIA FEITICEIRA (Sorceress Sequence)
(Aê, mandaram me chamar?
Êta vai
Pesado, né?
O jeito que tu senta é gostoso demais
Yo, did you call me?
Damn, go
Heavy, huh?
The way you sit is way too sexy

Welcome to the baile funk cauldron! “SEQUÊNCIA FEITICEIRA” mixes Pedro Sampaio’s booming beats with the fiery rhymes of MC Jhey, MC GW, MC Nito and MC Rodrigo do CN. The singers spot a dancer whose sensual moves feel like magic spells. Each time she drops, pauses on tip-toe or slides in reverse, they confess “me enfeiticei” – “I got bewitched”. The chorus repeats like a trance, turning the dance floor into a ritual where rhythm and desire collide.

Beyond the flirtatious lyrics, the song celebrates the live-for-now spirit of Brazilian funk. Lines like “never leave for tomorrow what you can do today” urge listeners to seize the night, hit the ground, and ask for an instant replay of every electrifying move. It is a playful, high-energy anthem that invites English learners to feel the heat of Rio’s parties while catching new vocabulary about attraction, movement and urgency.

ENSAIO DAS MARAVILHAS (Rehearsal of the Wonders)
Essa é a Thaysa Maravilha junto com o Pedro Sampaio
Pode convocar as meninas que vai começar o ensaio
A primeira maravilha chega com disposição
Desce, sobe, toma rajadão
This is Thaysa Maravilha along with Pedro Sampaio
Can you summon the girls who's going to start rehearsal
The first wonder arrives with disposition
Go down, go up, take rajato

Get ready to dance! "Ensaio das Maravilhas," which means "Rehearsal of the Marvelous Girls," is a high-energy Brazilian funk anthem that's all about a dance practice session. The song is a collaboration between DJ Pedro Sampaio and singer Thaysa Maravilha, and it's basically a set of fun dance instructions.

The lyrics introduce different "marvelous girls" and their signature moves. The first girl is full of energy, the second is newly single and dancing freely, and the third and fourth are best friends who dance together. The song calls for everyone to join in and dance in sync, creating a powerful and fun party atmosphere. It's a celebration of female friendship, confidence, and the joy of dancing!

DANÇARINA (DANCER)
Essa menina é o puro talento descendo
Joga a mãozinha pro alto
Quem tá enlouquecendo
Essa menina é o puro talento descendo
This girl's pure talent dropping
Throw your hand up
Who's going crazy
This girl's pure talent dropping

Get ready for a blast of Brazilian funk energy! In “DANÇARINA,” DJ-producer Pedro Sampaio teams up with MC Pedrinho to celebrate that one unstoppable girl on the dance floor. The lyrics paint her as “puro talento” – pure talent – whose every move makes the crowd lift their hands and lose their minds. The setting is the bailão, the big party where bass rattles, hips roll, and rhythm rules. With playful shout-outs to pop icon Anitta, the song turns into a live soundtrack for fearless, feel-good dancing.

Behind the catchy beat, the message is simple: own your groove, spark the party, and enjoy the moment. Each call-and-response line invites everyone to join the fun, while the chorus “ela vira dançarina” (she turns into a dancer) shows how music can transform confidence into motion. It is a joyful ode to body positivity, flirtation, and the electric connection between DJ, dancer, and crowd. Put it on, turn it up, and unleash your inner dançarina!

ATENÇÃO (ATTENTION)
Eu vou te viciar nesse solinho
Concentra pra sentar devagarinho
Tá louca, tá doida
Tá doida, tá louca
I'm gonna get you hooked on this little groove
Focus and sit down nice and slow
You're crazy, you're nuts
You're nuts, you're crazy

“ATENÇÃO” is a turbo-charged slice of Brazilian baile funk where producer-DJ Pedro Sampaio and pop star Luísa Sonza turn the dance floor into one big game of musical Simon Says. Over a pounding bass line, Pedro warns that he will “viciar” you in his catchy little riff, then fires off commands like “no chão, no chão, bota a palma da mão no chão” (“get down, put your palm on the floor”). The repeated line “tá viciada em sentar com a bunda” playfully declares that the listener is addicted to dropping their booty to the beat, celebrating unfiltered body movement and surrender to rhythm.

Underneath the party vibe there is a cheeky flirtation. Pedro calls himself a “problem” that Luísa loves, and the two tease each other as the world figuratively “ends” around them. It is all about carefree release: ignore everything else, feel the sub-bass in your chest, follow the instructions, and let the night explode with energy, sweat and fun. In short, “ATENÇÃO” is a sonic invitation to stop overthinking, hit the floor, and let Brazilian funk show you how irresistible a simple beat can be.

DOIDA (Crazy Woman)
Doida
Eu acho que essa mina é doida
Uma hora ela 'tá de boa e do nada ela surta
Já quer brigar
Crazy
I think this girl is crazy
One minute she's fine and suddenly she freaks out
Already wants to fight

Get ready to move with PEDRO SAMPAIO's "DOIDA"! This song is all about a wild, intense connection with someone who keeps you on your toes. The singer describes a woman as "doida" [crazy] because "Uma hora ela 'tá de boa e do nada ela surta" [One minute she's fine and out of nowhere she freaks out], ready to fight.

But despite her unpredictable nature, there's a strong mutual attraction. The lyrics are pretty direct about the physical chemistry, with lines like "Vou te botar com pressão" [I'm going to put you with pressure] and "Sei que você 'tá querendo" [I know you want it]. It's a high-energy track that captures the push and pull of a passionate, almost chaotic relationship. You can feel the intensity as he sings, "Fode o coração com esse teu movimento" [F*cks the heart with that movement of yours], showing how deeply this person affects him.

FETICHE (Fetish)
Palavras são palavras, te amos são em vão
Já que o amor acabou, só restou ilusão
Love you, love you, disappointing you
Love you, love you, disappointing you
Words are words, I love you is in vain
Since love is over, only illusion remains
Love you, love you, disappointing you
Love you, love you, disappointing you

Get ready to feel the heat with PEDRO SAMPAIO and Carolzinha's "FETICHE"! This song is all about a super intense, on-again, off-again relationship that's full of passion and a little bit of chaos. The lyrics kick off with a sense of disillusionment, saying "Palavras são palavras, te amos são em vão" [Words are just words, 'I love yous' are in vain] and "Já que o amor acabou, só restou ilusão" [Since love ended, only illusion remains]. But even with that heartbreak, the physical connection is undeniable.

Our singer is totally hooked, even admitting, "Sabe que você é o meu ponto fraco" [You know you're my weak spot]. There's a push and pull, where one minute it's "Love you, love you, disappointing you," and the next, they're tearing off clothes because "sei que tu gosta" [I know you like it]. The big question in the song is, "Me diz se isso é maldade ou fetiche" [Tell me if this is malice or a fetish], highlighting the confusing mix of emotions and desires. It's a wild ride of love, lust, and not quite knowing where they stand, but definitely enjoying the moment!

PRECE (Prayer)
O cara falou que é cantor, deixa ele cantar, canta
Aham, posso?
Eu tenho uma música que é minha, ó
Então vai
The guy said he is a singer, let him sing, sing
Yeah, can I?
I have a song that is mine, oh
So go ahead

Have you ever felt like you're at the bottom and need to find your way back up? That's exactly what Pedro Sampaio and Mc Thiago are singing about in "PRECE"! This song is all about having faith in yourself and your journey, even when things are tough. It's about remembering to "dar flor por aí e lembrar de regar" [give flowers around and remember to water them], meaning to spread good vibes and keep nurturing them.

The lyrics tell a story of hope and persistence. They talk about a kid playing soccer barefoot, looking at the sky and asking for a light on his path. The artists share their own experiences, saying, "Eu já 'tive aí no seu lugar" [I've been in your shoes] and encouraging listeners to "Confia no esforço e no talento / Fé que sua hora vai chegar" [Trust in effort and talent / Have faith that your time will come]. It's a powerful message about never giving up, even when you're dreaming of flying but only have a bicycle right now. It's a reminder that God's encounters are unexpected, and with faith in your prayer, you'll "tentar, vou conseguir / Eu vou lutar, vou persistir / E jamais me deixar cair" [try, I will succeed / I will fight, I will persist / And never let myself fall].

MINHA VIDA (My Life)
Ei
Eu nem sei mais que horas são
Minha casa é um aeroporto
'To viajando na ilusão ou não
Hey
I don't even know what time it is anymore
My house is an airport
I'm traveling in the illusion or not

Get ready to dive into the world of Pedro Sampaio with "MINHA VIDA"! This song gives us a peek into the fast-paced, sometimes lonely, life of an artist. He sings, "Minha casa é um aeroporto" [My house is an airport], which really sets the scene for constant travel and a life on the go. He's living a dream, but it's not always easy, as he questions, "Será que eu 'to amando pouco?" [Am I loving too little?].

It's all about the highs and lows of fame, with "Horas vazias, lugares lotados" [Empty hours, crowded places] and "Vivendo de aplauso" [Living on applause]. He feels like a "Picasso com pincel" [Picasso with a paintbrush], collecting trophies, but even with all that success, he admits, "Sempre se perde mesmo ganhando" [You always lose even when winning]. It's a really honest look at how even when you're living your dream, there can be a sense of something missing.

LAMBUZA (Smear)
É gostoso, é saboroso, se lambuza
'Tá procurando o quê? 'Tá procurando o quê?
Se o que você mais quer 'Tá bem pertinho de você
'Tá procurando o quê? 'Tá procurando o quê?
It's tasty, it's flavorful, you get messy
What are you looking for? What are you looking for?
If what you want the most is really close to you
What are you looking for? What are you looking for?

Get ready to move with PEDRO SAMPAIO's "LAMBUZA"! This song is all about that irresistible, close-up attraction that just can't be denied. It's asking, "'Tá procurando o quê?" [What are you looking for?] when what you want is right there, super close to you.

He describes this connection as "gostoso, é saboroso" [tasty, it's flavorful] and a "mistura malvada, meio caramelizado" [naughty mix, a bit caramelized] – sounds delicious, right? The lyrics are playful and direct, talking about bodies fitting together "tipo rosa no buquê" [like a rose in a bouquet] and wanting to "se lambuza, tira a minha blusa" [smear yourself, take off my shirt]. It's all about that physical chemistry and wanting love and warmth in the moment. You'll be wanting to dance and get lost in the rhythm!

FALA MAL DE MIM (Talk Bad About Me)
Para de queimar o filme que tu mais ama assistir
Não fala que no meu papinho que você não vai mais cair
Quando tu bebe coloca minha cama no teu GPS
Bebida entra e saudade aparece
Stop ruining the movie you love watching the most
Don't say you won't fall for my sweet talk anymore
When you drink, you put my bed in your GPS
Alcohol kicks in and longing appears

"Fala Mal De Mim" is about a relationship that can't quite end. The singer calls out someone who badmouths him to everyone around them, yet still wants him back the moment the drinks start flowing and the longing kicks in.

He knows the pattern by heart: she talks him down in public, then can't resist his "amorzinho gostoso" (his sweet little love) in private. It's a light, funny take on an on-again, off-again romance, where the promises broken and the calls made are all part of the same push and pull.
