Full lyrics
Quando o forró
Começa assim ninguém agüenta
O sangue esquenta na batida do baião
A mulherada se assanha no terreiro
Pega a mão do cavalheiro
Que seja bom de salão
Aí começa a safadeza na sanfona
O fole esquenta na batida do baião
Ninguém nesse forró (bis)
Não chora, não chora não
Ciranda também mexe com a cabeça
O frevo faz o corpo flutuar
Maracatu lá no terreiro de Olinda
Faz a menina na ribeira balançar
Enquanto a alegria permanece
No samba e no boi do maranhão
Ninguém nesse forró
Não chora não chora não
Translation
When the forró
Starts like this, no one can resist
The blood heats up to the beat of the baião
The women get excited on the terreiro
Takes the gentleman's hand
Who is good on the dance floor
Then the mischief begins on the sanfona
The fole heats up to the beat of the baião
No one in this forró (bis)
Doesn't cry, doesn't cry no
Ciranda also moves the head
The frevo makes the body float
Maracatu there on the terreiro of Olinda
Makes the girl sway by the riverbank
While the joy remains
In the samba and the boi do Maranhão
No one in this forró
Doesn't cry, doesn't cry no
