Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Chegou sexta-feira tem festa na roça

Friday has arrived, there's a party in the countryside

Vai ter bte-coxa, que coisa gostosa

There will be thigh-slapping, what a delightful thing

Dançando e bebendo até clarear

Dancing and drinking until it gets light

Gente da cidade, gente da lavoura

People from the city, people from the fields

Tem preto com branco, mulato com louta

Black with white, mulatto with fair

A gente só pensa em botar pra quebrar

We only think about letting loose

Chegou um moreno tocando pandeiro

A dark-skinned guy arrived playing the tambourine

Trazendo a ginga do Rio de Janeiro

Bringing the swing from Rio de Janeiro

Peguei o tantã e começei a batucar

I grabbed the tantã and started to beat

Aí que o forró foi ficando maneiro

That's when the forró started getting cool

O negão da zabumba o maior

The big swing of the bass drum, the black guy

swingueiro

Seems he's a great swinger

Sei que ficou bom, ficou bom pra danar

I know it's good, it's good for dancing


Tira a sandália arrasta o pé

Take off your sandals, shuffle your feet

Tem pouco homem muita mulher

Few men, many women

Nesse forró ja vi que vou me acabar

In this forró, I see I'm going to have a blast

O sanfoneiro nao quer parar

The accordion player doesn't want to stop

Ele falou que nunca viu

He said he's never seen

Nada melhor que esse forró Brasil

Anything better than this forró Brasil
