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 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.
