Oh morena, your sweaty neck
I'm losing breath dancing with you
In this sway you have, your body dances so floppily
And in this up-and-down, in this swinging
Our hearts even beat faster
We only want to feel good
With you, my baby
In the xenhenhém, xenhenhém, xenhenhém
Who was this wise man that invented the forró?
That made the girl raise the dust up in the dance floor
He's surely a great artist
He did a good job
And the girl will stay with the one, eager
to win the dance contest
Xenhenhém, xenhenhém, xenhenhém
Xenhenhém, xenhenhém, xenhenhém
Xenhenhém, xenhenhém, xenhenhém
I will do all I can to win the dance contest
