Full lyrics
Eu tô chegando
Pra cantar neste terreiro
Com meu fole de lado
Triângulo assanhado
Zabumba e pandeiro
Forró, suor, festança
Dança no país inteiro
No lugar que eu chego
O forró corre frouxo
Nas veias do povo
A tristeza que tem eu resolvo
Alegria assume o comando
A felicidade
Arrebentando os corações
Transformando os amores
As paixões
Turbilhões de emoção
Vão reinando
Porque tô chegando
Eu tô chegando
Pra cantar neste terreiro...
Translation
I'm arriving
To sing in this yard
With my accordion by my side
Excited triangle
Zabumba and pandeiro
Forró, sweat, celebration
Dance throughout the whole country
Wherever I arrive
Forró flows freely
In the people's veins
I resolve the sadness that exists
Joy takes command
Happiness
Bursting hearts
Transforming loves
The passions
Whirlwinds of emotion
Are reigning
Because I'm arriving
I'm arriving
To sing in this yard
