Full lyrics

Oi abalô, e tornou a abalar

O forró faz balançar o bueiro da Caruá


Vovó falava, eu criança escutava

Que a terra aqui abalava

Feito vara de bambu

Ela dizia: Que de longe se ouvia

Toda hora, noite e dia, estrondar Caruaru


Oi abalô, e tornou a abalar

O forró faz balançar o bueiro da Caruá


E resmungava, quando eu a perguntava

Se o estrondo que falava

Era troar de trovão

Vovó dizia, com toda sabedoria

Você vai ver um dia que esse morro é um vulcão


Oi abalô, e tornou a abalar

O forró faz balançar o bueiro da Caruá


Agora eu sei que a velha tinha razão

Que Caruaru estronda, isso já é tradição

E no compasso, rima, verso e simetria

Forró amanhece o dia quando chega São João

Translation

Hey, it shook, and shook again

The forró makes the Caruá sewer shake


Grandma used to say, I listened as a child

That the earth here shook

Like a bamboo pole

She said: That from afar you could hear

Every hour, night and day, Caruaru thunder


Hey, it shook, and shook again

The forró makes the Caruá sewer shake


And she grumbled, when I asked her

If the thunder she spoke of

Was the roar of thunder

Grandma would say, with all her wisdom

You will see one day that this hill is a volcano


Hey, it shook, and shook again

The forró makes the Caruá sewer shake


Now I know the old woman was right

That Caruaru thunders, that's already a tradition

And in the rhythm, rhyme, verse and symmetry

Forró dawns the day when São João arrives
