Full lyrics
Aonde tem menina, tem que ter namoro
Aonde tem a flor, tem que ter perfume
Aonde tem namoro tem que ter carinho
Aonde tem carinho tem muito ciúme
Aonde te ciúme tem muita arruaça
Onde tem cachaça tem cabra bom bebedor
Onde tem um sanfoneiro tem que ter forró
E se tiver mulher bonita eu não fico só
Aonde tem um sanfoneiro tem que ter forró
E se tiver mulher bonita eu não fico só
Quero vê levantar pó
Eu quero vê todo mundo dançando forró
Aonde tem forró é animado
Não fica ninguém parado dentro do salão
Com muita animação vamos forrofiar
Ao longe quero que ouça o som do chinelo chiar
Translation
Where there's a girl, there has to be dating
Where there's a flower, there has to be perfume
Where there's dating, there has to be affection
Where there's affection, there's a lot of jealousy
Where there's jealousy, there's a lot of ruckus
Where there's cachaça, there are good drinkers
Where there's a sanfona player, there has to be forró
And if there's a beautiful woman, I won't be alone
Where there's a sanfona player, there has to be forró
And if there's a beautiful woman, I won't be alone
I want to see the dust rise
I want to see everyone dancing forró
Where there's forró, it's lively
Nobody stands still inside the hall
With great excitement, let's dance forró
From afar, I want you to hear the sound of flip-flops squeaking
