Calma/Fica tranqüilo dureza (ou algo assim)

The phrase is "Be still, my beating heart' which is something you say when you see someone you love or you're very attracted to. Obviously this is a play on this phrase and it is probably referring to an erection. It should read 'Be still, (comma) my beating trousers.'
