Xonei Lyrics in English Jorge & Mateus , Henrique & Juliano

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Xonei by Jorge & Mateus from Portuguese to English.
Oh, oh, oh, my heart
No, no, no, not again
I've got butterflies
And my hand is sweating
I'm wiping it on my shirt
It's throwing me off
Every time she looks at me, every
A hair flip kills three
Me, my heart
And the plan not to get involved again
I'm scared I've fallen in love
In love, in love
I'm scared I gave in
Gave in, gave in
I was afraid to let it roll
I let it, I let it
It only took one touch, I got attached
I'm scared I've fallen in love
In love, in love, in love, in love
I'm scared I gave in
Gave in, gave in
I was afraid to let it roll
I let it, I let it
It only took one touch, I got attached
I've got butterflies
And my hand is sweating
I'm wiping it on my shirt
It's throwing me off
Every time she looks at me, every
A hair flip kills three
Me, my heart
And the plan not to get involved again
I'm scared I've fallen in love
In love, in love
I'm scared I gave in
Gave in, gave in
I was afraid to let it roll
I let it, I let it
It only took one touch, I got attached
I'm scared I've fallen in love
I fell in love, in love, in love
I'm scared I gave in
Gave in, gave in
I was afraid to let it roll
I let it, I let it
It only took one touch, I got attached
I'm scared I've fallen in love
So? Fell in love?
How can you not fall in love?

SONG MEANING

**“Xonei” bursts with the jittery excitement of someone who swore they were done with romance, only to be blindsided by a single dazzling smile. Jorge & Mateus team up with Henrique & Juliano to paint a vivid picture of love’s ambush: sweaty palms, butterflies in the stomach, and a mischievous flip of hair that knocks out every defense. The narrator keeps chanting tô com medo (I’m afraid) while confessing xonei—a playful, quick-spoken version of apaixonei (I fell in love)—showing how fear and fascination can coexist in the same heartbeat.

Under the lively sertanejo beat, the lyrics replay a comedic tug-of-war. Each time the singer decides to stay guarded, a new glance from “her” wipes the plan clean, proving that attraction often overrules logic. By the end, the song becomes a feel-good anthem for surrendering to unexpected feelings. After all, as the closing line teases, Como é que não xona?—with sparks flying this bright, how could anyone not fall head over heels?
