The phrase means do not let the samba end in Portuguese, and it is closely associated with Brazilian carnival culture, where samba keeps crowds dancing long after a parade or party should finish. Online, short clips of the refrain circulate as a celebration sound for videos about football, dancing, parties and Brazilian pride, because the message is easy to understand even for listeners who do not speak Portuguese. Its popularity as a soundboard clip comes from that instant, communal feeling rather than from a single viral moment.
