(Vem)
Você 'tá me dando umas olhadas
E deixando minha cabeça a mil, puta que pariu
E o pior é que 'cê nem disfarça, tem maldade na sua cara
Não vou chegar, já 'to chegando, não vou aguentar
Esse gin que 'cê 'tá tomando me fez delirarSerá que 'cê deixa eu participar?
Ô vontade de ser esse canudinho
Matar sua sede bem devagarinho
Dando volta na sua boca, fica molhadinho
Ai, essa língua passando
Ô vontade de ser esse canudinho
Matar sua sede bem devagarinho
Dando volta na sua boca, fica molhadinho
Ai, essa língua passando em mim
(Ana Castela, chama pra cá, bebê
Ê alegria demais

Canudinho é o nome dela
Canudinho is her name
Você 'tá me dando umas olhadas
You're giving me some looks
E deixando minha cabeça a mil, puta que pariu
And making my head spin, damn it
E o pior é que 'cê nem disfarça tem maldade na sua cara
And the worst part is, you don't even hide it, there's wickedness in your face
Não vou chegar, já 'to chegando, não vou aguentar
I won't hold back, I'm already coming, I can't resist
Esse seu gin que 'cê 'tá tomando me fez delirar
This gin you're drinking is making me delirious
Será que 'cê deixa eu participar?
Will you let me join in?
Ô vontade de ser esse canudinho
Oh, the desire to be that straw
Matar sua sede bem devagarinho
Quench your thirst very slowly
Dando volta na sua boca, fica molhadinho
Going around your mouth, gets wet
Aí essa língua passando em mim
Then that tongue passing over me
Ana Castela, chama pra cá, bebê
Ana Castela, come over here, babe
Ê alegria demais
Oh, so much joy
Gusttavo Lima
Gusttavo Lima
Vem, vem
Come, come
