Máquina Do Tempo Lyrics in English Matuê

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Máquina Do Tempo by Matuê from Portuguese to English.
Look at me: double Rolex, smoking joints
Today I brought a slick stuffed with top-shelf
I down a Jack, roll a track
There's always more money to make
money to make
There's always more money to make
money to make
There's always more money to make
Sunday burning gas, yeah
Sorry for f*cking your cousin
But her ass fascinates me, yeah
But her ass fascinates me
I'm gonna build a time machine
Fill it up with boldo
I'm gonna go back and rewrite everything again
I'm heading to the '70s to meet my father-in-law
To smoke a joint crazier than the last
Yeah, pouring whisky in the club
20 grams of hash, nobody understood a thing
Travel through space-time, are you going crazy?
You know that's impossible, kid, that's crazy talk
These ideas won't be fixed with a bomb
But it's not the kind that blows up, it's the kind that trips you out
I said: you're looking real tasty, so chill out
And today you can't imagine the scene when she
Look at me: double Rolex, smoking joints
Today I brought a slick stuffed with top-shelf
I down a Jack, roll a track
There's always more money to make
money to make
There's always more money to make
money to make
There's always more money to make
Sunday burning gas, yeah
Sorry for f*cking your cousin
But her ass fascinates me, yeah
But her ass fascinates me
I'm gonna build a time machine
I'm gonna build a time machine
I'm gonna build a time machine
tight temaki
If she doesn't wanna call me, I don't care
But her love burns strong like a joint
She'll hang up even if I don't pick up
She's A+, huh
I wanted a car
Now I can have ten, there's not enough parking
I'm blowing up in the top ten, owning the scene
Nobody's gonna stop me, nothing else will stop me
A+, huh
tight temaki
If she doesn't wanna call me, I don't care
But her love burns strong like a joint
She'll hang up even if I don't pick up, she is
A+, huh
I wanted a car
Now I can have ten, there's not enough parking
I'm blowing up in the top ten, owning the scene
Nobody's gonna stop me, nothing else will stop me

SONG MEANING

Máquina Do Tempo feels like a neon-lit joyride where trap beats meet sci-fi fantasy. Matuê opens the doors to his turbo-charged lifestyle — double Rolex glinting, thick smoke swirling, whisky bottles clinking — while a relentless hook reminds us there is always more money to make. In the middle of all this excess, he drops a wild plan: building a time machine stuffed with boldo leaves so he can zip back to the 70s, light up with his future father-in-law, and rewrite anything he wants. The image is playful, but it hints at something deeper: even surrounded by luxury, he wonders what life might look like if he could tweak the past.

Under the bravado, the song flips between swagger and self-reflection. We hear unapologetic boasts about chart domination and owning ten cars, yet also jokes about love that “burns like a joint” and the risk of losing someone who might simply hang up the phone. It is a portrait of modern ambition: fast, flashy, addictive, and threaded with a quiet wish for a reset button. Matuê’s lyrics invite the listener to party hard in the present while secretly daydreaming about second chances — all to a soundtrack that refuses to slow down.
