Full lyrics
Tio tio tio tio
Tio tio tio á
Tio tio tio tio
A alegria do povo é forrozar
Na cassapa do forró
Seu corpo fica lindoso
Molhadinho de suor
Vai molhando a sala inteira
Chega ate fazer besteira
Cana rola a noite inteira
Vai ate nascer do sol
Esse som rola na festa
Sanfoneiro desembesta
Os casais se atropelam
E os dois se deu um só
E no passo da dança
Agente se embalança
Fica se desengonçar
E do chão subir o pó
Chap chap do chinelo
Quero vê paia subir
Quero vê saia subindo
E o povo dizer é por aqui
Translation
Tio tio tio tio
Tio tio tio á
Tio tio tio tio
The joy of the people is to dance forró
In the midst of the forró
Your body becomes gorgeous
Wet with sweat
It keeps wetting the whole room
It even makes you do silly things
Cachaça flows all night long
It goes until sunrise
This sound plays at the party
The sanfoneiro goes wild
The couples bump into each other
And the two became one
And in the dance step
We sway
Keeps moving awkwardly
And dust rises from the floor
Chap chap of the flip-flop
I want to see straw rise
I want to see skirts rising
And the people say 'it's here'
