Verse

Suor pingando sob a luz estroboscópica

Sweat dripping under the strobe light

Baixo pesado batendo pela noite

Hard bass hitting through the night

Mãos para cima, movendo-se ao som

Hands up, moving to the sound

Girando em círculos pelo chão

Spinning circles on the ground

Chorus

A agulha cruza o risco do disco do casamento

The needle crosses your wedding record’s scratch

Meu pai lembra onde pegar a mão dela

Dad remembers where to take her hand

Verse

Pai e mãe estão na multidão

Mom and Dad are in the crowd

Rostos felizes, sentindo orgulho

Happy faces, feeling proud

Eu estava com medo de tocar esta faixa

I was scared to play this track

Mas o povo retribui com amor

But the people give love back

Chorus

A agulha cruza o risco do disco do casamento

The needle crosses your wedding record’s scratch

Meu pai lembra onde pegar a mão dela

Dad remembers where to take her hand

Sua primeira dança enche minha boate lotada

Your first dance fills my crowded club

Hoje os mais jovens aprendem seu giro

Tonight the youngest dancers learn your turn

Verse

Cabelos prateados e corações jovens também

Silver hair and young hearts too

Compartilhando magia, algo novo

Sharing magic, something new

A boate pula no compasso

The club is jumping to the beat

Amor de família torna tudo doce

Family love makes it sweet

Chorus

A agulha cruza o risco do disco do casamento

The needle crosses your wedding record’s scratch

Meu pai lembra onde pegar a mão dela

Dad remembers where to take her hand

Sua primeira dança enche minha boate lotada

Your first dance fills my crowded club

Hoje os mais jovens aprendem seu giro

Tonight the youngest dancers learn your turn

Outro

Vocês se curvam juntos sob as luzes prateadas

You bow together beneath the silver lights
