Tô namorando aquela mina Mas não sei se ela me namora Mina maneira do condomínio Lá do bairro onde eu moro
Seu cabelo me alucina Sua boca me devora Sua voz me ilumina Seu olhar me apavora Me perdi no seu sorriso Nem preciso me encontrar Não me mostre o paraíso Que se eu for, não vou voltar
Pois eu vou Eu vou
Eu digo "oi" ela nem nada Passa na minha calçada Dou bom dia ela nem liga Se ela chega eu paro tudo Se ela passa eu fico doido Se vem vindo eu faço figa Eu mando beijo ela não pega Pisco olho ela se nega Faço pose ela não vê Jogo charme ela ignora Chego junto ela sai fora Eu escrevo ela não lê
Minha mina Minha amiga Minha namorada Minha gata Minha sina Do meu condomínio Minha musa Minha vida Minha Monalisa Minha Vênus Minha deusa Quero seu fascínio

I love that girl over there But I dont know if she loves me My style of condominium The neighborhood where I live
Your hair drives me crazy Your mouth destroys me Your voice iluminates me Your gaze terrifies me
I'm lost in your smile Neither do I need to find myself Don't show me paradise Because if i go, I won't return
So I go I go I go I go
I say "hey" she says nothing As she passes by my street I bid her good day, but she could care less If she arrives, I do everything to stop her If she passes, I stay hurt If she comes, I cross my fingers I give a kiss, she doesnt accept I wink, she denies I pose, she doesn't see I play some charm, she ignores me I bring her near, she takes off I write, she doesn't read
My mine My friend My love My cat My sin Of my condominium My muse My life My Monalisa My Venus My Goddess I want your fascination

This is almost a literal translation, which is why some of the phrases sound very wierd. Also, the lyrics to this song are more slang than proper Portuguese. But this song can give you a slight sense of Brasil, the courtmanship, and how the men try without any indiscretion. Honesty works in South America, but as I've noticed since I've been back, it does not work to well in the US. Women here would rather chase the perfect asshole, than be chased by a gentleman.
