Full lyrics
Gente, olha a Zefa
Como dança o xaxiado } bis
Êita nega da muléstia
Dão cabelo arrepiado
É bonito a gente ver
A nega no salão
Todo mundo fica olhando
A nega tipo violão
É bonito a gente ver
A nega no salão
Êita nega da muléstia
Pra dançar côco e baião
A nega num é mineira, não
A nega num é baiana, não
Se não é pernambucana
Vige! Que a nega é paraibana
Translation
People, look at Zefa
How she dances the xaxiado } bis
Wow, what an amazing woman
Her hair standing on end
It's beautiful to see
The woman in the dance hall
Everyone keeps looking
The woman like a guitar
It's beautiful to see
The woman in the dance hall
Wow, what an amazing woman
To dance côco and baião
The woman is not a Mineira, no
The woman is not a Baiana, no
If she's not a Pernambucana
Wow! The woman is a Paraibana
