Lyrics Translation

Flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker
Here you are
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata
Caterpillar girl
Flowing in and filling up my hopeless heart
Oh, never, never go

Oh, I'll dust my lemon lies
With powder, pink and sweet
The day I stop is the day you change
And fly away from me

You flicker and you're beautiful
You glow inside my head
You hold me hypnotized, I'm mesmerized
Your flames, the flames that kiss me dead

I'll dust my lemon lies
With powder, pink and sweet
The day I stop's the day you change
And fly away from me

Oh, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker
Here you are
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata
Caterpillar girl
Flowing in and filling up my hopeless heart
Oh, never, never go

Oh, I'll dust my lemon lies
With powder, pink and sweet
The day I stop's the day you change
And fly away, away from me

Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata, caterpillar girl

Caterpillar girl
Menina lagarta
Flowing in and filling up my hopeless heart
Fluindo e preenchendo meu coração desesperançado
Oh, never, never go
Oh, nunca, nunca vá
Oh, I'll dust my lemon lies
Oh, eu vou polvilhar minhas mentiras de limão
With powder, pink and sweet
Com pó, rosa e doce
The day I stop is the day you change
O dia em que eu parar é o dia em que você muda
And fly away from me
E voa para longe de mim
You flicker and you're beautiful
Você pisca e você é linda
You glow inside my head
Você brilha dentro da minha cabeça
You hold me hypnotized, I'm mesmerized
Você me mantém hipnotizado, estou hipnotizado
Your flames, the flames that kiss me dead
Suas chamas, as chamas que me beijam morto
I'll dust my lemon lies
Eu vou polvilhar minhas mentiras de limão
With powder, pink and sweet
Com pó, rosa e doce
The day I stop's the day you change
O dia em que eu parar é o dia em que você muda
And fly away from me
E voa para longe de mim
Oh, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker
