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
Take notice
To the coco, woman
It's coco xêem
Made for dancing
Take notice
To the coco, woman
Take notice to the coco
And let's coco and have fun
Look at the hips
Of that swaying woman
That even looks like the fole
Of Neném's sanfona
Look at the hips
Of that woman, she has a certain swing
Everyone sets their eyes
When she dances the xêem
Xêem, xêem, xêem
Everyone sets their eyes
When she dances the xêem } bis
And when I arrive
There at Tonhé's place
I immediately get lively
When the woman says she's coming
I say the woman has more
And I value it
Because the woman is truly a show
When she dances the xêem
Because the woman is truly a show
When she dances the xêem } bis
