Full lyrics
Não se aproxime sai de perto vai pra lá
Deixa eu tocar no meu canto
Sem o foco me pegar
No canto escuro eu vou tocando ligeirinho
Puxa o fole sanfoneiro
Neste forro miudinho
Ela é ciumenta
Ela é ciumenta
Essa mulher do zabumbeiro
E brava e muito ciumenta
Em cada baile que eu balanco ela ta la
Não desvio do meu foco
Ela não para de me olhar
Fica quetinha num olhar despercebido
Se tá brava ela ta calma
E se tá calma e ciumenta
Ela é ciumenta
Ela é ciumenta
Essa mulher do zabumbeira
E brava e muito ciumenta
Translation
Don't come close, get away, go over there
Let me play in my corner
Without the spotlight catching me
In the dark corner I'll be playing nimbly
Play the sanfona, accordion player
In this close-knit forró
She is jealous
She is jealous
This woman of the zabumba player
And fierce and very jealous
At every dance I sway, she is there
I don't deviate from my focus
She doesn't stop looking at me
She stays quiet with a discreet look
If she's angry, she's calm
And if she's calm, she's jealous
She is jealous
She is jealous
This woman of the zabumba player
And fierce and very jealous
