Full lyrics
Êita, xote véi machucador
Véi machucador
Que tanta coisa vai lembrar
Ah, vai...
Ela aí dançando
E eu sentindo o cheiro dela, ai, ai...
Tanto que eu quero andar direito
Mas meu velho peito
Não quer parar de doer
Ou eu danço esse xote
Com ela um xote (2x)
Ou morro, ê ê...
Ela vez em quando me faz aperriação
Mas eu gosto dela e amoleço o coração
Sei que vou morrer de amor
Amigo toque um xote, velho amigo tocador
Quando eu começar a xotear
Aí ninguém vai mais me segurar
Translation
Oh, old xote that hurts
Old hurting one
That will bring back so many memories
Ah, it will...
She there dancing
And I feeling her scent, oh, oh...
So much I want to behave
But my old chest
Doesn't want to stop hurting
Either I dance this xote
With her a xote (2x)
Or I die, oh oh...
She sometimes makes me bothered
But I like her and my heart softens
I know I'm going to die of love
Friend play a xote, old friend musician
When I start to dance xote
Then no one will hold me back anymore
