Full lyrics
Das Dores, pegue o passo
Cuidado com o meu pé
Não pise o meu coturno
Que eu comprei pro Capilé } bis
Pra se dançar o capilé
Precisa jeito
O capilé é dança séria de respeito
Do peitoril pra baixo
A regra nessa dança
Se evitar qualquer xamego com a pança
Não pega bem no capilé
Certos fricotes
Exemplo a dama
Rejeitar cheiro em cangote
Por outro lado
Nada de jôeio colado
Os pontos baixo
Todos ele arrecuado
Eu reconheço
Que essa dança toma espaço
É como ver
Um móio de cangurú no passo
Mas quando engrena
O capilé no espraiado
A gente dança
Até ficar descadeirado
Translation
Das Dores, get the step
Be careful with my foot
Don't step on my boot
That I bought for Capilé } bis
To dance the capilé
It needs a knack
The capilé is a serious dance of respect
From the chest down
The rule in this dance
Is to avoid any flirtation with the belly
It doesn't look good in the capilé
Certain affectations
For example, the lady
Rejecting a smell on the neck
On the other hand
No knees glued together
The low points
All of them tucked in
I admit
That this dance takes up space
It's like seeing
A bunch of kangaroos in step
But when it gets going
The capilé in the wide open space
We dance
Until our hips are out of joint
