Flutua Lyrics in English Johnny Hooker , Liniker

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Flutua by Johnny Hooker from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
What'll they say about us?
Your folks, God and stuff like that
When they hear rumors of our love?
Baby, I'm tired of hiding
Between glances, whispers with you
We're two men and nothing else
They won't win
Baby, nothing will be in vain
Before this night ends
Dance with me to our song
And float, float
Nobody's gonna tell us how to love
And float, float
Nobody's gonna tell us how to love
Verse 2
Amid loose chats across the floor
Your taut, hard, healthy body
And your scent that still lingers on my hand
A new time will prevail
So we can bloom
And, baby, love, love without fear
They won't win
Baby, nothing will be in vain
Before this night ends
Baby, listen, it's our song
And float, float
Nobody's gonna tell us how to love
And float, float
Nobody's gonna tell us how to love
How to love, how to love
Nobody's gonna tell us how to love
How to love, how to love
Nobody's gonna tell us how to love
How to love, how to love
Nobody's gonna tell us how to love
How to love, how to love
Nobody's gonna tell us how to love
How to love, how to love
Nobody's gonna tell us how to love
(How to love, how to love
Nobody's gonna tell us how to love)

SONG MEANING

Can love really float above prejudice? “Flutua,” a soulful duet by Brazilian artists Johnny Hooker and Liniker, answers with a resounding yes. Over a dreamy groove, the singers slip into the roles of two men who choose to celebrate their affection despite society’s disapproving whispers. Parents, tradition, even “Deus e coisas tais” (“God and things like that”) might judge them, yet they refuse to hide in shadows or whispered secrets. Instead, they invite each other to the dance floor, vowing that nobody will ever tell us how to love. The repeated chorus “e flutua” (which means “and float”) becomes a mantra of liberation: love can rise above fear, shame, and the old rules that try to keep it grounded.

Beneath the intimate imagery of lingering perfume and stolen glances, the song carries a larger message of resistance and hope. Hooker and Liniker imagine “um novo tempo” (“a new time”) when every couple can florescer (blossom) openly. Their defiant tenderness turns the dance into a peaceful protest, an anthem for LGBTQ+ pride wrapped in shimmering pop-soul. Listen, sway, and let the music lift you—it is an invitation to float beyond limits and love without apology.
