Full lyrics

Chama maria, chama joão

Chama francisco pra dançar

O forró da minha terra

As bastianas vão tocar


No resfulengo da sanfona

No tilintar de um triangulo

No zabumbar de uma zabumba

Arrata o pé até cansar


Pras menininhas namoradeiras

Pros mais velhos paquerar

Não tem idade nem fronteiras

Pras bastinas remoçar


E digue, digue, digue, digue dá

O forró da minha terra

As bastianas vão tocar


E digue, digue, digue, digue dá

A cultura da minha terra

As bastianas vão tocar


Chama maria, chama joão

Chama francisco pra dançar

O forró da minha terra

As bastianas vão tocar


Coco, ciranda, maracatú

Vem morena requebrar

Vem dançar a noite inteira

Até o dia clarear


Em dona inês, em esperança

Em conceição e piancó

Animação e brincadeira

Chegam numa nota só

Translation

Call Maria, call João

Call Francisco to dance

The forró of my land

The women of the land will play


In the soulful sway of the accordion

In the jingle of a triangle

In the thumping of a zabumba

Drag your feet until you're tired


For the flirtatious young girls

For the elders to flirt

There's no age nor borders

For the women of the land to rejuvenate


And digue, digue, digue, digue dá

The forró of my land

The women of the land will play


And digue, digue, digue, digue dá

The culture of my land

The women of the land will play


Call Maria, call João

Call Francisco to dance

The forró of my land

The women of the land will play


Coco, ciranda, maracatú

Come, dark-haired beauty, sway your hips

Come dance the whole night

Until the day breaks


In Dona Inês, in Esperança

In Conceição and Piancó

Liveliness and fun

Come together as one
