ACAI (English Translation) Lyrics – CORTIS

 [Intro: Martin]
Who is choking? I don’t care.
Who is choking? I don’t care.
Who is choking? I don’t care.
Who is choking? I don’t care.
Who is choking? I don’t care.
Who is choking? I don’t care.

 [Chorus: Martin, James, Keonho, Juhoon & Seonghyeon]
Gulp, gulp, pull, pull I just choke on açaí.
After one drink, the mood rises; if you shake it, it’s all samba.
Even my tongue turns purple, just like Aladdin.
All I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah.
All I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh hundred açaí.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh bring that açaí.
Gulp, gulp, pull, pull I just choke on açaí.
I really like it, uh, uh, açaí.

 [Verse 1: Martin]
Remove the disappointing taste, the toppings with no roots.
Let me change the scene like a famous actor’s action.
An all‑night session, check into a new hotel,
Then check out the next day with the luggage loaded on my shoulders.

 [Pre‑Chorus: James & Seonghyeon]
Like a donkey, like a donkey east, west, south, north, around the world once.
As I go around once, suddenly it rings ba ra ring 
An alarm at my bellybutton.
It’s time for açaí, it’s time for açaí.

 [Chorus: Keonho, Juhoon, James & Martin]
Gulp, gulp, pull, pull I just choke on açaí.
After two drinks, the mood rises; if you shake it, it’s all samba.
Even my tongue turns purple, just like Aladdin.
All I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah.
All I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh hundred açaí.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh bring that açaí.
Gulp, gulp, pull, pull I just choke on açaí.
I really like it, uh, uh, açaí.

 [Verse 2: Seonghyeon, James & Juhoon]
Açaí‑stained tee, açaí‑stained pants,
Açaí‑stained album I make a jam out of it.
I grow the trend, bury it all on SNS.
Stack ‘n stack ‘n stack.
But I ain’t tryna blend we only lock in with the real ones.
I’ve left, traveling thirty thousand leagues to find something proper.
An all‑night session, check into a new hotel,
Then check out the next day with the luggage loaded on my shoulders.

 [Pre‑Chorus: Keonho & Seonghyeon]
Like a donkey, like a donkey east, west, south, north, around the world once.
As I go around once, suddenly it rings ba ra ring
An alarm at my bellybutton.
It’s time for açaí, it’s time for açaí.

 [Chorus: Seonghyeon, Keonho, Martin, Juhoon & James]
Gulp, gulp, pull, pull I just choke on açaí.
After one drink, the mood rises; if you shake it, it’s all samba.
Even my tongue turns purple, just like Aladdin.
All I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah.
All I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh hundred açaí.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh bring that açaí.
Gulp, gulp, pull, pull I just choke on açaí.
I really like it, uh, uh, açaí.

 Lyrics Meaning :

“Acai” is a playful, high‑energy song that uses the açaí berry as a metaphor for a sensory, addictive experience. The lyrics blend surreal imagery, pop‑culture references, and a touch of hedonism to describe a night of indulgence and creative abandon.

• Core Theme: The Addictive Thrill of Indulgence
  The opening line   “Who is choking? I don’t care”   sets a carefree, almost reckless tone. The act of “choking on açaí” is not literal; it suggests being overwhelmed by pleasure, by a taste or feeling so intense it’s almost dangerous. Açaí, a superfood often served as a smoothie bowl or drink, becomes a symbol of everything decadent and irresistible.

• The Samba and Aladdin References
  “If you shake it, it’s all samba” connects the drink to dance, rhythm, and Brazilian joy. “Even my tongue turns purple, just like Aladdin” links the berry’s deep purple color to the Disney character’s iconic outfit. These juxtapositions are playful and free‑associative, fitting a song about losing control.

• The Itinerant Lifestyle
  The pre‑chorus compares the singer to a “donkey” traveling “east, west, south, north, around the world once.” This is the constant movement of touring artists. The “alarm at my bellybutton” is hunger   not just for food, but for the next thrill, the next creative fix. “It’s time for açaí” becomes a ritualistic call.

• Creative Jam Session
  In verse two, “açaí‑stained tee, açaí‑stained pants, açaí‑stained album” suggests that this indulgence spills over into art. The stains are marks of authenticity. “I make a jam out of it” is a pun: jam from berries, and a jam session from music. The singer grows trends and buries them on social media, then stacks success without blending in   they only work with “the real ones.”

• The Hotel and the Load
  The repeated image of checking into a hotel, working all night, then leaving with luggage on one’s shoulders reflects the transient, sometimes lonely life of an artist. Yet the açaí breaks that monotony, offering a burst of color (purple tongue) and energy.
