Full lyrics
Forró em Tóquio, toque, toque xote,
sanfoneiro toque xote no forró de Tóquio (2x)
Forró de Tóquio, eta forró legal,
era um forró miojo lá minha oriental,
o sanfoneiro era Michiú,
cansou de levar porrada de lutar em kung-fú,
no lugar da xiboquinha tinha o saquê,
dançando o japa só gritava, isso é melhor que karatê,
A mulherada, toda apreensiva,
tem gringo na festa, e eu fiquei na defensiva,
esse forró num é pra estrangeiro,
então eu disse, como pode, se o forró é brasileiro,
O samuray estava aperreado,
pois pra entrar na dança ele deixou a espada de lado,
e no final a surpresa é geral,
dançava até o tamagochi, aquele bicho virtual.
Translation
Forró in Tokyo, play, play xote,
sanfoneiro play xote at the forró in Tokyo (2x)
Forró in Tokyo, what a cool forró,
it was a noodle forró there, my oriental woman,
the sanfoneiro was Michiú,
got tired of getting beaten up fighting kung-fu,
instead of xiboquinha there was sake,
dancing the Japanese guy just shouted, this is better than karate,
The women, all apprehensive,
there's a gringo at the party, and I stayed on the defensive,
this forró is not for foreigners,
then I said, how can it be, if forró is Brazilian,
The samurai was bothered,
because to join the dance he put his sword aside,
and in the end the surprise is general,
even the tamagochi danced, that virtual pet.
