Maracutaia Lyrics in English Karol Conka

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Maracutaia by Karol Conka from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
Always scheming, he can't see a skirt
Instead of applause, he gets a boo
He lives in lies and walks out singing “amarataia”
Downs another glass, blows smoke and
Some girls on the floor begging for a d*ck
He fixes his collar and dives right in
Bill still zero, but he keeps drinking
For him it's all or nothing
And anything goes
He's already ditched lucidity
He realizes it's past three
Tomorrow he won't even remember what he did
Keeps shaking, doing it all again
He's already ditched lucidity
He realizes it's past three
Tomorrow he won't even remember what he did
Keeps shaking, doing it all again
He’s ta, ta, ta, ta
Ta, ta, ta
Ta, ta, ta
Ta, ta
And in the scheme
In the scheme
In the scheme
In the scheme
He thinks nobody knows
Everybody’s onto it
Meanwhile his reputation falls
He thinks nobody knows
Everybody’s onto it
Meanwhile his reputation falls
Meanwhile his reputation falls
Meanwhile his reputation, reputation, reputation falls
Verse 2
He devours, thinks he terrifies
He takes, never gives, and celebrates
That's how it is, that's how it is, is, is
He’s up for grabs, but doesn't want it
He never knows what he wants
And when he decides what he wants
He ends up choosing wrong
And sees he's just another nobody
Verse 2
The guy's disturbed
So every man for himself
Verse 2
He never lives for me, nothing
It's like whatever comes, yeah, yeah
He's already ditched lucidity
He realizes it's past three
Tomorrow he won't even remember what he did
Keeps shaking, doing it all again
He's already ditched lucidity
He realizes it's past three
Tomorrow he won't even remember what he did
Keeps shaking, doing it all again
He’s ta, ta, ta, ta
Ta, ta, ta
Ta, ta, ta
Ta, ta
And in the scheme
In the scheme
In the scheme
In the scheme
He thinks nobody knows
Everybody’s onto it
Meanwhile his reputation falls
He thinks nobody knows
Everybody’s onto it
Meanwhile his reputation falls
Meanwhile his reputation falls
Meanwhile his reputation, reputation, reputation falls
Outro
Who doesn't poke?
Who doesn't poke?
Who doesn't poke?
Who doesn't poke?

SONG MEANING

Welcome to the neon-lit world of “Maracutaia,” Karol Conka’s sharp-tongued tale of a party player who thinks he can fool everyone. The word maracutaia is Brazilian slang for a shady scheme, and Conka uses it to paint the picture of a self-absorbed guy who prowls the dance floor, chasing skirts, downing drinks and living for the moment. He swaggers around the club, pretending to dominate the scene, yet the crowd sees right through him. Every shot he throws back and every boast he makes only drags his reputation lower, until his “moral” collapses under the weight of his own exaggerations.

Behind the irresistible beat lies a witty social warning. Conka shows how easy it is to lose clarity when the music is loud and the ego is louder. By sunrise the man will barely remember his antics, but everyone else will — and that’s the real hangover. “Maracutaia” becomes both a dance-floor banger and a playful call-out of empty bravado, reminding listeners to keep their cool, keep their dignity, and know when the party ends and self-respect begins.
