Secret Affair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pra não ter que te encarar
Afogo na piscina
Pra você me salvar
Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar
Crio mil feitiços pra tentar te conquistar
Eu só quero brincar com você
Tenho todos que quero
Mas perco o ar quando te vejo
Saio com seus vizinhos
Só pra você me notar
Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar
Crio mil feitiços pra tentar te conquistar
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero, quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero, quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Não me despreze
Eu sou pior que você
Não tenha medo
Eu só quero brincar
The lyrics to Secret Affair's song "Do You Know?" describe the singer's infatuation with someone, and their desire to play games with that person. The singer confesses to trying to hide their feelings by pretending to be invisible, and sometimes even putting themselves in danger in order to catch the attention of the person they're interested in. They also admit to going out with others just to make the object of their affection notice them. Despite feeling like they have all they want, the singer still feels breathless when they see this special someone.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I only want to play with you," emphasizing the singer's desire to engage in a flirtatious and playful relationship with this person. The last lines of the song seem to beg for acceptance, with the singer claiming to be "worse" than the person they're interested in but insisting that they only want to have fun.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a complicated and playful relationship that may not be entirely reciprocated, with the singer using games and magic to try to win the affection of someone they can't stop thinking about.

Finjo ser invisível
I pretend to be invisible to avoid facing you
Pra não ter que te encarar
So I don't have to look at you directly
Afogo na piscina
I drown in the pool
Pra você me salvar
So that you can save me
Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar
I stumble on the stairs so that you can catch me
Crio mil feitiços pra tentar te conquistar
I create a thousand spells to try and win you over
Eu só quero brincar com você
I just want to play with you
Tenho todos que quero
I have everyone I want
Mas perco o ar quando te vejo
But I lose my breath when I see you
Saio com seus vizinhos
I go out with your neighbors
Só pra você me notar
Just to get you to notice me
Não me despreze
Don't despise me
Eu sou pior que você
I am worse than you
Não tenha medo
Don't be afraid
Eu só quero brincar
I just want to play
