TÔ SENTINDO UMA FALTA TERRIVEL DO SEU CALOR;
TENTA, DIGA QUE SIM
E VEM NOS MEUS BRACOS,MINHA PRETA, MEU CHAMEGO, MINHA FLOR
Hey Mr Doorman
Let me into the club
I really wanna rub it up
Hey MR Doorman
Let me into the club
I really wanna rub it up
And give love, give love, 1 love
Hey mr Doorman
Won't u give me a chance
I really wanna diggy dance
And find romance
All it takes is a glance
Hey mr doorman
Won't you give me a chance
I really wanna diggy dance
All it takes is a glance
And find romance
Here, have a glass or something to drink
And think about it
Don't doubt it, we don't shout it
We sing it when we bring it
And we're clapping when we're rapping
So what's hip and who's clean
Time to skip necessary means
Security seems to divide us into
Insiders, outsiders, neverminders
Teethgrinders, soulfinders
Everybody needs 2 be admired
And my skillz are for hire
So hey mr doorman don't be mean
Let me step into the cityscene (x3)
MINA (MENINA), VOLTA PRA MIM.
TÔ SENTINDO UMA FALTA TERRIVEL DO SEU CALOR;
TENTA, DIGA QUE SIM
E VEM NOS MEUS BRACOS,MINHA PRETA, MEU CHAMEGO, MINHA FLOR
I know u can, I know you're the man
I know you ain't got nothing against me and my clan
Why you messin' up my game plan
There's some honeyz inside and
I think I can make the right moves
Make my body & soul groove
Is it cuz fila-sneakers on my shoes?
Do I need muscels like u 2 pay my dues
Hey mr doorman
Don't make me feel like a loser
U know I'm just another midnight cruiser
Really wanna get in
I still wanna get in (x2)
I cruelly wanna get in
Hey mr doorman, let me into the club
I really wanna rub it up, give love
The lyrics of Arsenal's song Mr. Doorman feature a clear message of the singer's desire for admission into a club. The song begins with a verse in Portuguese, with the lyrics "MINA (MENINA), VOLTA PRA MIM. TÔ SENTINDO UMA FALTA TERRIVEL DO SEU CALOR; TENTA, DIGA QUE SIM E VEM NOS MEUS BRACOS, MINHA PRETA, MEU CHAMEGO, MINHA FLOR" which roughly translate to "Girl (little girl), come back to me. I'm feeling a terrible lack of your warmth; try, say yes and come to my arms, my angel, my love, my flower". This verse sets the tone for the song's theme of desire and pursuit.
The song's chorus features the artist pleading with the doorman to let him into the club, expressing his desire to feel the music and love inside. The verses in between feature the singer attempting to persuade the doorman to let him in, offering drinks and emphasizing his worthiness as a partygoer. The song is ultimately an expression of the joy and connection that can come from a night out with friends.
Overall, Mr. Doorman captures the excitement and frustration of wanting to enjoy a night out and feeling excluded by the strict entrance requirements of a club or bar. The song's catchy beat and playful lyrics make it a classic party anthem.
