Full lyrics
O Maior forró pelo que eu ouvir dizer
É na praia da ilha, você pode crer
Que as dez da noite
O forró já tá de pé
Sanfoneiro abre a sanfona
E só se vê chegá mulher
Tem buscapé, o caldo de feijáo no bafo
A meia légua de escuta
O som do chinelo chiar
É o chililique, chililique
Chililique, chililique
Chililique e a poeira lavantar
É o chililique, chililique
Chililique, se a gente quer um repique
O cabra no zabumba dá.
Adelmario Coelho - Visita ao Trio Nordestino - Acústico
Translation
The biggest forró, from what I hear tell
Is on the island beach, you can believe it
That at ten at night
The forró is already lively
The accordion player opens the accordion
And all you see are women arriving
There are firecrackers, the steaming bean broth
Half a league away you can hear
The sound of sandals squeaking
It's the chililique, chililique
Chililique, chililique
Chililique and the dust rising
It's the chililique, chililique
Chililique, if we want a drum roll
The guy on the zabumba gives it.
