Full lyrics
É funga, funga, é mexe-mexe
É mexe-mexe, é funga-funga
É no fungado da sanfona
Que a gente aperta a dama
Na frieza e na quentura
Ai virando amor,
Ai vira xodó
E nessa safadeza
A alegria fica só
Embora depois vem o chororó
Embora depois fique a reclamar
E nem se lembra que o amor é cego
Bate o prego sem martelo
Pra arrancar tem que pegar
Translation
It's snuggle, snuggle, it's sway-sway
It's sway-sway, it's snuggle-snuggle
It's to the fungado of the sanfona
That we hold the lady tight
In the coldness and in the heat
Oh, turning into love,
Oh, turns into xodó
And in this mischief
Only joy remains
Although later comes the weeping
Although later one keeps complaining
And doesn't even remember that love is blind
Hits the nail without a hammer
To pull it out, one has to grab it
