E Luxo So
Juliana Kehl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Olha, esta mulata quando dança
É luxo só
Quando todo seu corpo se embalança
É luxo só
Tem um não sei quê
Que faz a confusão
O que ela não tem meu Deus,
É compaixão
Êta, mulata quando, ah
Olha, esta mulata quando dança
É luxo só
Quando todo seu corpo se embalança
É luxo só
Porém seu coração quando palpita
E se agita mais ligeiro
Nunca vi compasso tão brasileiro

Êta, samba, cai pra lá
Cai pra cá, cai pra lá, cai pra cá
Êta, samba, cai pra lá
Cai pra cá, cai pra lá, cai pra cá




Mexe com as cadeiras, mulata
Seu requebrado me maltrata
