Ever had a crush on someone who seems a little out of your league? That's the heart of Michel Teló's fun and charming song, "Humilde Residência" (Humble Residence).
The singer invites a woman he's interested in over to his place. He's very honest about his situation: his car is broken, he can't afford to spend money, and he has to ask her to call him collect. He remembers a time when she seemed to like him, but now things have changed. She has graduated from college, while he admits he "didn't even get halfway" through his own course. Despite this growing gap, he's still determined to win her over.
The chorus is a playful and sincere invitation to his "humble residence." He asks for a little patience because his home is far from perfect—in fact, the bed is broken and there isn't even a blanket! It's a sweet and funny song about wanting to be with someone, even when you feel like you don't have much to offer besides your affection.
