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
By ten at night
The forró is already on its feet
Accordion player opens the accordion
And all you see are women arriving
There are fireworks, the steaming bean broth
Half a league away you can hear
The sound of sandals squeaking
It's the shush-shush, shush-shush
Shush-shush, shush-shush
Shush-shush and the dust rising
It's the shush-shush, shush-shush
Shush-shush, if we want a drum roll
The guy on the zabumba gives it.
Adelmario Coelho - Visit to the Northeastern Trio - Acoustic
