Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Sanfoneiro, toque um forró lascado

Accordion player, play a rocking forró

Desses de arrasar

One that devastates

O povo tá tenso, o candeeiro aceso

The people are tense, the lantern is lit

Vamos começar

Let's get started


Senta a ripa, zabumbeiro

Sit tight, drummer

No repique, o piongueiro bota pra quebrar

On the repique, the piongueiro goes all out

No calor da umbigada

In the heat of the belly bump

Bate coxa entremiada até o sol raiar

Hit the intertwined thigh until the sun rises


Que forró danado, sô

What a damn good forró

É o forró do povo

It's the forró of the people

A gente toma um porre

We get drunk

O suor escorre e a gente quer de novo

The sweat drips, and we want it again


Que forró danado, sô

What a damn good forró

É o forró do povo

It's the forró of the people

A gente toma um porre

We get drunk

O suor escorrer e a gente quer de novo

The sweat is flowing, and we want it again


Feito mão e luva, danço agarradinha

Like hand in glove, I dance holding tight

Pra não desgrudar

So as not to let go

A coisa penica, quem tá fora, fica

The thing gets spicy, those outside stay

Sem poder entrar

Unable to enter


Quem entende essa fritura

Who understands this sizzle

Bota os pés nessa mistura

Put your feet in this mixture

Sem se machucar

Without getting hurt


O corpo da gente gira

Our body spins

É um tal de põe e tira

It's a thing of putting and taking

Até o dia clarear

Until the day breaks
