Maracutaia Lyrics in English by Karol Conka

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Maracutaia by Karol Conka from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
Só na maracutaia, não pode ver uma saia
Always scheming, he can't see a skirt
Ao invés de aplausos, ele recebe uma vaia
Instead of applause, he gets a boo
Vive na mentira e sai cantando amarataia
He lives in lies and walks out singing “amarataia”
Vira mais um copo, faz fumaça e
Downs another glass, blows smoke and
Algumas na pista suplicando por um membro
Some girls on the floor begging for a d*ck
Ele ajeita a gola da camisa e cai pra dentro
He fixes his collar and dives right in
Consumação zerada, mas continua bebendo
Bill still zero, but he keeps drinking
Pra ele é tudo ou nada
For him it's all or nothing
E qualquer coisa tá valendo
And anything goes
Já aposentou a lucidez
He's already ditched lucidity
Percebe que já passou das três
He realizes it's past three
Amanhã nem vai lembrar o que fez
Tomorrow he won't even remember what he did
Segue sacudindo, fazendo tudo outra vez
Keeps shaking, doing it all again
Já aposentou a lucidez
He's already ditched lucidity
Percebe que já passou das três
He realizes it's past three
Amanhã nem vai lembrar o que fez
Tomorrow he won't even remember what he did
Segue sacudindo, fazendo tudo outra vez
Keeps shaking, doing it all again
Ele tá, tá, tá, tá
He’s ta, ta, ta, ta
Tá, tá, tá
Ta, ta, ta
Tá, tá, tá
Ta, ta, ta
Tá, tá
Ta, ta
E na maracutaia
And in the scheme
Na maracutaia
In the scheme
Na maracutaia
In the scheme
Na maracutaia
In the scheme
Pensa que ninguém sabe
He thinks nobody knows
Todo mundo se liga
Everybody’s onto it
Enquanto isso sua moral cai
Meanwhile his reputation falls
Pensa que ninguém sabe
He thinks nobody knows
Todo mundo se liga
Everybody’s onto it
Enquanto isso sua moral cai
Meanwhile his reputation falls
Enquanto isso sua moral cai
Meanwhile his reputation falls
Enquanto isso sua moral, moral, moral cai
Meanwhile his reputation, reputation, reputation falls
Verse 2
Ele devora, pensa que apavora
He devours, thinks he terrifies
Recebe, nunca dá e comemora
He takes, never gives, and celebrates
Assim que é, assim que é, é, é
That's how it is, that's how it is, is, is
Ele tá dando sopa, mas não quer
He’s up for grabs, but doesn't want it
Nunca sabe o que quer
He never knows what he wants
E quando decide o que quer
And when he decides what he wants
Acaba escolhendo errado
He ends up choosing wrong
E vê que é só mais um qualquer
And sees he's just another nobody
Verse 2
O cara tá perturbado
The guy's disturbed
Então salve-se quem puder
So every man for himself
Verse 2
Vive nunca por mim nada
He never lives for me, nothing
É tipo vem o que vier é, é
It's like whatever comes, yeah, yeah
Já aposentou a lucidez
He's already ditched lucidity
Percebe que já passou das três
He realizes it's past three
Amanhã nem vai lembrar o que fez
Tomorrow he won't even remember what he did
Segue sacudindo, fazendo tudo outra vez
Keeps shaking, doing it all again
Já aposentou a lucidez
He's already ditched lucidity
Percebe que já passou das três
He realizes it's past three
Amanhã nem vai lembrar o que fez
Tomorrow he won't even remember what he did
Segue sacudindo, fazendo tudo outra vez
Keeps shaking, doing it all again
Ele tá, tá, tá, tá
He’s ta, ta, ta, ta
Tá, tá, tá
Ta, ta, ta
Tá, tá, tá
Ta, ta, ta
Tá, tá
Ta, ta
E na maracutaia
And in the scheme
Na maracutaia
In the scheme
Na maracutaia
In the scheme
Na maracutaia
In the scheme
Pensa que ninguém sabe
He thinks nobody knows
Todo mundo se liga
Everybody’s onto it
Enquanto isso sua moral cai
Meanwhile his reputation falls
Pensa que ninguém sabe
He thinks nobody knows
Todo mundo se liga
Everybody’s onto it
Enquanto isso sua moral cai
Meanwhile his reputation falls
Enquanto isso sua moral cai
Meanwhile his reputation falls
Enquanto isso sua moral, moral, moral cai
Meanwhile his reputation, reputation, reputation falls

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.
