Full lyrics
Tome intendênça
No coco muié
É coco xêem
Feito pra dançar
Tome intendênça
No coco muié
Tome intendênça no côco
E vamo côco vadiar
Olhe as cadeira
Dessa nega bole bole
Que parece até o fole
Da sanfona do Neném
Olhe as cadeira
Dessa nega tem um molho
Todo mundo bota o olho
Quando dança o xêem
Xêem, xêem, xêem
Todo mundo bota o olho
Quando dança o xêem } bis
E quando eu chego
Lá na sede do Tonhé
Eu fico logo sapeca
Quando a nega diz que vem
Falo que a preta tem é mais
E dou valor
Pois a nega é mesmo show
Quando dança o xêem
Pois a nega é mesmo um show
Quando dança o xêem } bis
Translation
Pay attention
To the coco, woman
It's coco xêem
Made for dancing
Pay attention
To the coco, woman
Pay attention to the coco
And let's coco have a good time
Look at the hips
Of that nega bole bole
That even looks like the bellows
Of Neném's sanfona
Look at the hips
Of that nega has a swing
Everyone watches
When she dances the xêem
Xêem, xêem, xêem
Everyone watches
When she dances the xêem } bis
And when I arrive
There at Tonhé's place
I immediately become playful
When the nega says she's coming
I say that the preta has more
And I value it
Because the nega is truly a show
When she dances the xêem
Because the nega is truly a show
When she dances the xêem } bis
