Contatinho Lyrics in English Nego Do Borel , Luan Santana

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Contatinho by Nego Do Borel from Portuguese to English.
I'm not understanding anything
It seems like a game of hide and seek
She, in the middle of the night
Turns off her phone and disappears
But I'll solve this situation
I'll call my contact
If no water comes out of this well
I'll look for it from another source
But I already know what to do
To solve this conflict
She pretends to love me, to love me
And I pretend to believe
But I already know what to do
For this lack of affection
When she disappears from the map
I won't cry anymore
I'll call my little contact
Little contact
I won't be alone
Little contact
Come here and give me affection
Little contact
Knows how to do it right
Little contact
It has to be discreet
Look there, hey, Nego
When she's out and about
I'll look in a second
For a little contact to console me
If the first one is gone
And the second one is already married
For sure the third one will happen
Soft water wears away the stone
It hits so much until it breaks
It's crazy, but I'll figure it out
Today is a day for mischief
And if she's from another city
It doesn't matter, I'll have someone fetch her
You know why? Tell me!
But I already know what to do
To solve this conflict
She pretends to love me, to love me
And I pretend to believe
But I already know what to do
For this lack of affection
When she disappears from the map
I won't cry anymore
I'll call my little contact
Little contact
I won't be alone
Little contact
Come here and give me affection
Little contact
Knows how to do it right
Little contact
But it has to be discreet
What's this?
She disappears without a trace
And still wants to control me
Hm-hm, hm-hm, hm-hm
Stay calm
I called a little contact
To take your place
Hm-hm, hm-hm, hm-hm
Acts innocent
Says she's hurt
And I'm the one who's not nice
Hm-hm, hm-hm, hm-hm
You need some nerve
For your shameless face
Shameless face!
But I already know what to do
To solve this conflict
She pretends to love me, to love me
And I pretend to believe
But I already know what to do
For this lack of affection
When she disappears from the map
I won't cry anymore
I'll call my little contact
Little contact
I won't be alone
Little contact
Come here and give me affection
Little contact
Knows how to do it right
Little contact
It has to be discreet
I'm not understanding anything
It seems like a game of hide and seek
If no water comes out of this well
I'll look for it from another source
Call the little contact, call the little contact!
It has to be discreet

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.
