Full lyrics
Vamos maquinista bote gás no candeeiro
Bote vapor não se preocupe com ninguém
Só pare o trem quando chegar no rio de janeiro
Ande ligeiro que eu espero por meu bem
Ela também já deve estar
Doidinha a me esperar
Não tem coração que se agüenta
Por isso estou aqui correndo por meu bem
Vamos no balanço desse trem
Xenhenhêm, xenhenhêm, xenhenhêm
Vamos nós no balanço do trem
Translation
Let's go, engineer, put gas in the lamp
Give it steam, don't worry about anyone
Only stop the train when it arrives in Rio de Janeiro
Hurry up, for I'm waiting for my love
She must also already be
Eagerly waiting for me
There's no heart that can bear it
That's why I'm here rushing for my love
Let's go on the sway of this train
Xenhenhêm, xenhenhêm, xenhenhêm
Let's go on the sway of the train
