Full lyrics
Ô mulher, só no fifo
Bote na latada que vai ter arrasta-pé
Porque no escuro o compadre não quer
Qua a zefinha venha pra dançar forró
Fifó, fifó, fifó
Apagado não, aceso sim!
Eu até achava bom se fosse no escurinho
No chamego desse pra dançar agarradinho
O povo gosta e eu também não acho ruim
Sanfoneiro toca mais animadinho
Forró no claro é bom, eu sei!
Mais a moçada gosta é mesmo no escurinho
Translation
Oh woman, only by the lamp's light
Put it on the trellis, because there will be arrasta-pé
Because in the dark compadre doesn't want
That Zefinha come to dance forró
Lamp, lamp, lamp
Off no, on yes!
I even thought it would be good if it were in the dim light
With that tenderness to dance close
The people like it and I don't mind either
Sanfona player plays more animatedly
Forró in the light is good, I know!
But the young people really like it in the dim light
