Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Contatinho by Nego Do Borel from Portuguese to English.

I don't get a thing

Seems like hide-and-seek

She, in the middle of the night

Turns off her phone and disappears

But I'll sort this out

I'll fire up my phone

If this well won't give water

I'll fetch it from another source

But I already know what to do

To solve this conflict

She pretends she loves me, loves me

And I pretend I believe

But I already know what to do

For this lack of affection

When she drops off the map

I won't cry anymore

I'll call my hookup

Hookup

I won't stay alone

Hookup

Come here, give me affection

Hookup

You know how to do it just right

Hookup

It's gotta be low-key

Watch it, huh, bro

When she hits the road

I'll find one in a second

A hookup to help me console myself

If the first took off

And the second already got married

For sure the third will go down

Soft water on hard stone

Keeps hitting till it breaks through

It's crazy, but I'll work it out

Today's a day for mischief

And if she's from another city

Doesn't matter, I'll have her brought in

Know why? Say it!

I already know what to do

To solve this conflict

She pretends she loves me, loves me

And I pretend I believe

But I already know what to do

For this lack of affection

When she drops off the map

I won't cry anymore

I'll call my hookup

Hookup

I won't stay alone

Hookup

Come here, give me affection

Hookup

You know how to do it just right

Hookup

But it's gotta be low-key

What's this?

She pulls a disappearing act

And still wants to control me

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

Chill out

I hit up a hookup

To take your place

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

She plays the saint

Says she's hurt

And I'm the one who's not cool

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

You need some Peroba polish

For that shameless face

Shameless!

But I already know what to do

To solve this conflict

She pretends she loves me, loves me

And I pretend I believe

But I already know what to do

For this lack of affection

When she drops off the map

I won't cry anymore

I'll call my hookup

Hookup

I won't stay alone

Hookup

Come here, give me affection

Hookup

You know how to do it just right

Hookup

It's gotta be low-key

I don't get a thing

Seems like hide-and-seek

If this well won't give water

I'll fetch it from another source

Call the hookup, call the hookup!

It's gotta be low-key

SONG MEANING

Contatinho is a cheeky, feel-good anthem about modern dating, Brazilian style. The narrator is tired of his on-again, off-again partner who loves to vanish “like a game of hide-and-seek,” so he turns to his backup plan: that handy contatinho (literally “little contact”) who is always ready to give him attention. Rather than mope when his main love interest ghosts him, he proudly declares that he will dial someone new, keep the party going, and never spend a lonely night.

Behind the playful beat and flirty lyrics, the song celebrates self-confidence and the freedom to move on quickly when a relationship turns into a power game. It pokes fun at jealousy and double standards—“she pretends she loves me, I pretend I believe”—while teaching listeners a bit of Brazilian slang for casual flings. In short, Nego do Borel and Luan Santana invite you to dance, laugh, and remember that there is always another number in your phone when one romance dries up.
