Full lyrics
No Malagueta quando a coisa fica preta
Nego não puxa a peixeira nem submetralhadora
Saca um coco, um xaxado e um xote
Faz a mira no cangote e começa a brincadeira
De lá pra cá a mulherada cai com graça
Dança até fazer fumaça num forró de arrepiar
O cabra toma uma pinga e se anima
De repente tá no clima e começa a xavecar
Xaveca aqui, xaveca ali, tome xaveco
Pulando feito um marreco, doido pra se arrumar
O nego dança, o suor molha a camisa
Parece a Torre de Pisa, cai-não-cai pra lá e pra cá
Vem arder comigo meu amor, no Malagueta
A pimenta é boa, meu amor, não faz careta
Vem arder comigo, vamos dançar sem perigo
Que hoje eu sou teu amigo, sou o teu rei do baião
Vem arder comigo, meu amor, no Malagueta
A pimenta é boa, meu amor, não faz careta
Vem arder comigo, vamos dançar sem perigo
Bater canela, umbigo, cabeça e coração
Em Bonsucesso, meu amor, já fiz sucesso
Fui cover de Gordurinha numa casa de forró
Bati canela, arrastei pé, gastei chinela
Evoluí na passarela e também levantei pó
Há tempo que eu não como um peba na pimenta
Quero ver quem se agüenta nessa vida sem paixão
Pra se cantar, dançar, fazer pirueta
Vamo lá pro Malagueta bater coxa no salão
REFRÃO
Translation
In Malagueta, when things get rough
A guy doesn't pull out a knife or a submachine gun
He grabs a coconut, a xaxado and a xote
Aims at the nape of the neck and starts the fun
From there on, the women fall with grace
Dance until they make smoke in a hair-raising forró
The guy takes a shot of cachaça and gets excited
Suddenly he's in the mood and starts flirting
Flirt here, flirt there, take a flirt
Jumping like a duck, crazy to get fixed up
The guy dances, the sweat wets his shirt
Looks like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, falling-not-falling back and forth
Come burn with me, my love, in Malagueta
The pepper is good, my love, don't make a face
Come burn with me, let's dance without danger
Because today I am your friend, I am your king of baião
Come burn with me, my love, in Malagueta
The pepper is good, my love, don't make a face
Come burn with me, let's dance without danger
Hit shins, navel, head and heart
In Bonsucesso, my love, I was already successful
I was a Gordurinha cover in a forró house
I hit shins, dragged my feet, wore out my sandals
Evolved on the catwalk and also raised dust
It's been a while since I ate a peba in pepper
I want to see who can handle this life without passion
To sing, dance, do a pirouette
Let's go to Malagueta to rub thighs in the hall
Come burn with me, my love, in Malagueta
The pepper is good, my love, don't make a face
Come burn with me, let's dance without danger
Because today I am your friend, I am your king of baião
Come burn with me, my love, in Malagueta
The pepper is good, my love, don't make a face
Come burn with me, let's dance without danger
Hit shins, navel, head and heart
