Full lyrics
O meu xote é nota mil pra se curtir e dançar
Vai voar pelo Brasil nas asas do meu cantar
Nas asas do meu cantar vai voar pelo Brasil
E o meu xote é nota mil pra se curtir e dançar
Sapateando sem parar
No roncado da sanfona
Todos estão a rebolar
Na batida do zabumba
O triangulo a rebumbar
O salão fica apertado
Vem gente de todo lado menina
Aqui ninguém fica parado
Quem quiser venha aprender
Não precisa saber ler
Até amanhecer o dia
Todo mundo forrofia
O povão fica assanhado
No balanço bem trançado
O meu xote nota mil
É fácil de ser dançado
Translation
My xote is top-notch to enjoy and dance
It will fly through Brasil on the wings of my singing
On the wings of my singing it will fly through Brasil
And my xote is top-notch to enjoy and dance
Stomping without stopping
To the rumble of the sanfona
Everyone is swaying their hips
To the beat of the zabumba
The triangle resounding
The dance hall gets crowded
People come from everywhere, girl
Here nobody stands still
Whoever wants to, come and learn
Doesn't need to know how to read
Until daybreak
Everyone dances forró
The crowd gets excited
In the well-intertwined sway
My top-notch xote
Is easy to be danced
