Full lyrics

Me diga seu moço com convicção

Que a terra que eu moro é de valentão


Olha a terra que eu moro

A cidade é bacana

Lugar é goiana eu posso lhe provar

Tem cabra que briga de foice e facão

Tem cabra que briga de faca e punha

Se você quiser comigo ir lá

No forro do preá, pra vê como é

Se o cabra dançar no paga a conta

E sai pela porta vê lá no que der (?)


Menino o forro é bem animado

Tem nego bebendo, zangado suado

Tem mulher dançando, com homem agarrado

Tem 12 vigias, tem 13 soldados

Tem mane Antonio, a sanfona a tocar

Não acredita, um dia vá lá

Pra vê como é o forro do preá

Translation

Tell me, sir, with conviction

That the land where I live is of tough men


Look, the land where I live

The city is cool

The place is Goiana, I can prove it to you

There are guys who fight with scythe and machete

There are guys who fight with knife and dagger

If you want to go there with me

To the forró do preá, to see how it is

If the guy dances, he doesn't pay the bill

And leaves through the door, see what happens


Boy, the forró is very lively

There are guys drinking, angry, sweaty

There are women dancing, clinging to men

There are 12 guards, there are 13 soldiers

There's Mane Antonio, playing the sanfona

Don't believe it, go there one day

To see how the forró do preá is
