Pra Lavar
Latino Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Desce uma, desce duas, desce três:
Bem gelada!
Pra lavar, lavar, lavar
Lavar, lavar
Desce uma, desce duas, desce três:
Com latino!

De segunda a sexta-feira

Eu trabalho por demais
Assim vou acabar
Com placa de "descanse em paz"

A solução pra esse estresse
É um santo remédio
Que desce redondo
E que acaba com meu tédio

Eu dou uns pegas lá na catcha
A catcha catchaça
Um xarope de malte
E um red pra adoçar

Por isso que eu caio de boca na catcha
A catcha catchaça
Um suco de cevada bem gelada
Pra lavar
Lavar, lavar
Lavar, lavar

Desce uma, desce duas, desce três:
Bem gelada!
Pra lavar, lavar, lavar
Lavar, lavar
Desce uma, desce duas, desce três:
Vai, dibôa!

E quando eu chego em casa
A patroa fica enchendo
Mil interrogatórios
Pra saber o que eu to fazendo

Porque eu chego em casa
Tarde sexta, até domingo
Relaxa aí, mulher
Não pensa que eu to te traindo

Só dou uns pegas lá na catcha
A catcha catchaça
Um xarope de malte
E um red pra adoçar

Por isso que eu caio de boca na catcha
A catcha catchaça
Um suco de cevada bem gelada
Pra lavar
Lavar, lavar
Lavar, lavar

Desce uma, desce duas, desce três:
Bem gelada!
Pra lavar, lavar, lavar
Lavar, lavar
Desce uma, desce duas, desce três:
Bem gelada!

A vida é muito boa
Pra que se estressar
Se ficar deprimido
A catcha vai curar
Latino vai falar
Numa mesa de bar
Desce mais uma loira
Vamos bebemorar

Eu dou uns pegas lá na catcha
A catcha catchaça
Um xarope de malte
E um red pra adoçar

Por isso que eu caio de boca na catcha
A catcha catchaça
Com suco de cevada bem gelada
Pra lavar
Lavar, lavar
Lavar, lavar

Desce uma, desce duas, desce três:
Bem gelada!
Pra lavar, lavar, lavar
Lavar, lavar

Desce uma, desce duas, desce três:
Bem gelada!
