Full lyrics

Quando me alembro

Do forró do Chico Moço

Meu Deus que forró colosso

Que saudade que me dá

O funga funga

Cheira cheira no pescoço

Pondo o sangue em alvoroço

E o corpo a se arrupiar

Era o chamego

No relado da cintura

Puxado por uma fervura

Com aquela farta de ar

Um bate coxa

Mela mela e no repuxo

Socando bucho com bucho

Como a quem quer misturar


Forró pra ser gostoso

Tem que ser colado

E o diabo arrochado

Naquele furdum

Nariz fungando quente

No pé do zuvido

E um gosto do gemido

Só fazendo hum hum


Forró forró

Forró forró


Daquele jeito

Quando o zóio arrevirava

Parece que a vida tava

Em tempo de se acabar

Seu sanfoneiro pra beber

Parava o fole

E as pernas da gente mole

Quase nem queria andar

Já nem se vê

Como era nesse tempo antigo

Onde umbigo com umbigo

Se molhava de suor


Mudaram tudo

E hoje tá tão diferente

Fica os dois de frente a frente

Cada um dançando só

Translation

When I remember

The forró at Chico Moço's

My God, what a colossal forró

What saudade it gives me

The 'funga funga'

Sniffing, sniffing at the neck

Setting the blood astir

And the body to shiver

It was the chamego

In the rubbing of the waist

Pulled by a fever

With that lack of air

A 'bate coxa'

'Mela mela' and in the jerk

Pushing belly to belly

Like someone wanting to mix


Forró to be good

Has to be close

And the devil tightly

In that furdum

Nose sniffing hot

At the foot of the ear

And a taste of the moan

Just making hum hum


Forró forró

Forró forró


In that way

When the eyes rolled back

It seems that life was

In time to end

Your accordion player to drink

Stopped the bellows

And our legs weak

Almost didn't want to walk

You hardly see it anymore

Like it was in that old time

Where navel to navel

Got wet with sweat


They changed everything

And today it's so different

The two stay face to face

Each one dancing alone
