(noh-sah seen-yoh-dah; Wow!)... Nossa senhora! literally means Our lady and would " Then 'Assim voc me mata', "You kill me," a common exclamation.Milton Meira do Nascimento 'Jornal de resenhas' 2001 Page 638 "O "autor", no auge da sua glria, se despede da posteridade: " terrvel! terrvel! Assim voc me mata... Oh! Vou morrer...". Then "ai, se eu te pego, ai, ai, se eu te pego." - "Ooh, if I catch you."Jacqueline Jimnez Polanco Amma Chief 2012 "Y escucho pormi odo izquierdo la cancin, "Nossa, nossa, assim voc me mata, ai se eu te pego, ai, ai, se eu te pego." The verse then repeats with "Delcia, delcia" instead of "Nossa, nossa."

In popular culture



Popularity in sport

The song is especially popular among footballers. It was first danced by Brazilian player Neymar who initially appeared on a video dancing to the song "Ai Se Eu Te Pego". Many other videos of the same player emerged later leading to its huge popularity in Brazil.

The song became extremely popular in Spain and all over Europe after Real Madrid players Marcelo and Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated a goal dancing to the choreography of the song. Playing in a La Liga match, the dance was performed by the two players after Ronaldo scored the first goal against Mlaga on 22 October 2011. The popularity was such that on 12 January 2012, Michel Tel was invited to the Real Madrid training ground and posed for pictures with Marcelo and Ronaldo. The goal celebration has been performed by many other footballers across Europe. At 'UFC 153' in Brazil, fighter Dave Herman used the song as his entrance music.

Muay Thai kickboxer Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee danced and sang along to "Ai Se Eu Te Pego" in the ring following his win over Marco Piqu at 'Yokkao Extreme 2012' in Milan on 21 January 2012.
