Mexe O Bumbum Lyrics in English Jerry Smith
Lapada literally means 'slap' or 'hit'. However, in Brazilian Portuguese slang, especially in the context of funk music, it's used to describe someone or something that is incredibly attractive, striking, or impressive.
In "Mexe O Bumbum," when the lyrics say "Essa morena é lapada," it means the woman is stunningly beautiful and has a powerful, captivating presence. It's a vibrant and informal way to express admiration for someone's looks and appeal.
"Mexe O Bumbum" is a lighthearted Brazilian funk track about noticing someone striking on the dance floor and cheering her on.
The verses describe a woman arriving with braided extensions and a stunning figure, drawing admiring exclamations like vixi (a playful Brazilian interjection of surprise). From there the song turns into a chant, repeating the command mexe esse bumbum — move that booty — as the beat drops into pure dance-floor energy.
It is a good song for practicing everyday Brazilian Portuguese interjections and body-related vocabulary, set inside a fun, repetitive chorus that is easy to sing along to.
