Home / Lyrics Translation / Piruka / Ca Bu Fla Ma Nau

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ca Bu Fla Ma Nau by Piruka from Portuguese to English.

Intro

Don't tell me no 'cause I know you take beatings well

You don't stand a chance 'cause I'll grab you anytime

We're down in the hood, you don't even have to look

They said the crew already showed up for you

We stepped into rap without asking, the hood saluted

Lots of dudes count on my presence, Mota JR's like a virus or disease

Bro, listen, if you stop to think about everything you see

I told you my rap is different 'cause my rap makes a difference

Wanna talk about me, talk all you want

I just wanna hear Piruka in the people's mouths

Bro, them talking about me is advertising

So go on, talk again!

You think I listen to them?

Boy, I've been on the beat since a kid

Don't come talking to me about ties around the neck

You're just another who sees the lights and gets nervous

Clear your mind and think again

I'm Piruka MC, yeah dread, look close

Madorna City, G, here with Baixada, Cacém

I'm chasing my million, I want a harem in bills

Everybody's trying to poke to see who copies who

Turn up the beat and check the beat, I'm racing with Mota

And in the crib full of girls, I burn joints by the pool

Boy, the life you imagine is the life we have

So notice it, face the truth face-to-face

They think the kid kills because society kills

They think the kid stops just to stop these people

Being on the frontline creates rivalries

F**k it

So I stay in my corner

With my fam on the bench watching them pass

And honestly I'm just amazed

At so many wannabe hustlers slipping around

Boy, try to catch what I'm saying

If you're the type who talks but goes looking

Order a cannon, tilt the neck

And note in your notebook that the cue is Piruka

The crew's already here for you

And I've always heard that who doesn't move forward steps back

Feel Creole with Tuga

Creole or Portuguese, it's the same culture

Don't tell me no 'cause I know you take beatings well

You don't stand a chance 'cause I'll grab you anytime

We're down in the hood, you don't even have to look

They said the crew already showed up for you

We stepped into rap without asking, the hood saluted

Lots of dudes count on my presence, Mota JR's like a virus or disease

Bro, listen, if you stop to think about everything you see

I told you my rap is different 'cause my rap makes a difference

And I'm different, I'm the same, I'm whatever you want

My dread, truth is I'm present

Life spins a lot and I spin life just as much

So today my life is to be a decent man

While you run with that worthless crowd

I'm at the front line with my people partying

Today I make a living on stage, on stage I let life loose

I show what head held high is and I got out of the sh*t

And I told you already, RAP is commitment

I never lifted my foot, but I'm back on duty

I didn't show up on a tow truck, if my RAP shocks

Load bullets in the drum, I'll learn to deal with it

With a smile on my face, I shoot realities

Troop, notice, I won't stop even if you kill me

Look me in the face and face the truths

Mota said break it, so I broke both parts

My old man said 'Smart is steering the boys'

Listen to what I say, I just wanna see what you do

Listen to your son, I followed my own road

I put the plaques in the drawer and started selling lines

Life's a stepmother and drags you where you shouldn't go

Say 'enough' and walk away while you can still escape

Because lots of Spider-Men get caught in the web

They just wanna hitch a ride, never get here

I smoke so much, ugly thing, they think I came from Korea

Because I walk around with slanted eyes from here to there

Madorna turned into Baghdad

Feel the lyrical bomb, lyrically I say: dread, the hood just chews

Naturally I keep going, my straight path doesn't tire

I leave a big one here for every fake n***a

Don't tell me no 'cause I know you take beatings well

You don't stand a chance 'cause I'll grab you anytime

We're down in the hood, you don't even have to look

They said the crew already showed up for you

We stepped into rap without asking, the hood saluted

Lots of dudes count on my presence, Mota JR's like a virus or disease

Bro, listen, if you stop to think about everything you see

I told you my rap is different 'cause my rap makes a difference

Don't tell me no 'cause I know you take beatings well

You don't stand a chance 'cause I'll grab you anytime

We're down in the hood, you don't even have to look

They said the crew already showed up for you

We stepped into rap without asking, the hood saluted

Lots of dudes count on my presence, Mota JR's like a virus or disease

Bro, listen, if you stop to think about everything you see

I told you my rap is different 'cause my rap makes a difference

SONG MEANING

“Ca Bu Fla Ma Nau” throws you straight into the energy of Lisbon’s suburbs, where Portuguese twangs meet Cape-Verdean Creole and the beat never slows down. Piruka and the late Mota JR rap like two friends on the same block, bragging about skills, money dreams and the tight bond with their “fam” while warning haters that they can be reached “qualquer altura” - any time. The hook in Creole is almost a street chant: don’t talk about me, you know a beating is coming; don’t even try to hide, we run the neighborhood. It is half-threat, half-celebration, and totally catchy.

Beneath the swagger sits a bigger message: keep moving forward, stay loyal to your roots, and let the gossip be free publicity. Piruka paints himself as a survivor who swapped street trouble for a microphone, yet never forgot where he comes from. Mota JR doubles down, proudly calling his verses a “virus” that spreads influence. Together they turn hardship into motivation, proving that authentic rap can lift you out of “merda” while still honoring the people and places that shaped you. Listen closely and you will find not just bravado, but resilience, ambition, and a shout-out to every underdog who is ready to rise.
