Full lyrics
Eu vou pro sertão dançar forró
Tanta alegria até o nascer do sol
Vem menina se deita
Vem menina se deita
Vem menina se deita
Na rede de caruá
Vem cabocla bonita
Pinotar na fogueira
Sua saia levanta
E sacode a poeira
Rapaz novo se encanta
E alguém que se espanta
Carro velho se empanca
Subindo a ladeira
Translation
I'm going to the sertão to dance forró
So much joy until sunrise
Come girl, lie down
Come girl, lie down
Come girl, lie down
In the caruá hammock
Come beautiful cabocla
Skip around the bonfire
Your skirt lifts
And shakes off the dust
Young man gets enchanted
And someone who gets startled
Old car stalls
Going up the hill
