Full lyrics
Também fui a um forró em Limoeiro
Tinha gente que não dá pra contar
O forró tava bom tava beleza
Só vocês vendo para acreditar
Eu tirei uma morena pra dançar
Ela veio com uma ginga maneira
Eu dançava forró ela calango
Descobri que a menina era mineira
Todo mundo parava pra olhar
A mineira fazendo exibição
Dançando calango de pé trocado
Eu dançando um forró de Gonzagão
Quando estava amanhecendo o dia
Pedi mais um forró ao sanfoneiro
Ai se misturou lá no salão
O forró com o calango mineiro
(Refrão)
É mineirinho, é maneirinho, é miudinho
Que forró acochadinho
Tão bonzinho de dançar
É mineirinho, é maneirinho, é miudinho
Ouro Preto bate o sino
Que eu respondo no ganzá
Translation
I also went to a forró in Limoeiro
There were so many people you couldn't count them
The forró was good, it was beautiful
You had to see it to believe it
I asked a brunette to dance
She came with a cool sway
I danced forró, she danced calango
I discovered that the girl was from Minas Gerais
Everyone stopped to watch
The girl from Minas Gerais showing off
Dancing calango with switched feet
I dancing a forró by Gonzagão
When day was breaking
I asked the accordion player for another forró
Then it mixed in the hall
The forró with the calango from Minas Gerais
It's from Minas Gerais, it's cool, it's tiny
What a cozy forró
So nice to dance to
It's from Minas Gerais, it's cool, it's tiny
Ouro Preto rings the bell
And I answer on the ganzá
It's from Minas Gerais, it's cool, it's tiny
What a cozy forró
So nice to dance to
It's from Minas Gerais, it's cool, it's tiny
Ouro Preto rings the bell
And I answer on the ganzá
