Tiu ru ru...
Tiu ru ru...
Menina, veja você
Girl, just look at you
O trem só anda por cima da linha
The train only runs on the tracks
O que eu vou fazer, eu não sei
What I'm gonna do, I don't know
O certo mesmo é que você é minha
The real truth is that you are mine
Menina, veja você
Girl, just look at you
O trem só anda por cima da linha
The train only runs on the tracks
O que eu vou fazer, eu não sei
What I'm gonna do, I don't know
O certo mesmo é que você é minha
The real truth is that you are mine
Tiu ru ru...
Tiu ru ru...
