Full lyrics

Mas que ritmo quente

Que bamboleado

Que tem o maxixe

E o samba rasgado

Que até faz a gente

Só descontrolar

Ao som do maxixe

A gente enloquece

Da vida se esquece

Começa a sambar

Samba ôio

Ô samba iaiá


Com rima e cadência

Do samba, enloqueço

Da vida me esqueço

E começo a sambar

Eu tenho no corpo

O micróbio do samba

Macaco me lamba } bis

Se eu não requebrar

Translation

But what a hot rhythm

What a sway

That maxixe has

And the ripped samba

That even makes us

Just lose control

To the sound of maxixe

We go crazy

Forget about life

Start to samba

Samba oh

Oh samba iaiá


With rhyme and cadence

Of samba, I go crazy

I forget about life

And start to samba

I have in my body

The samba microbe

A monkey lick me } bis

If I don't sway
