Full lyrics
Naquela casa todo mundo tem negocio
Mas nenhum deles é sócio
Cada um trata de si
O velho tem um negócio de panela
A velha já tem o dela
Na cachaça e no piqui
A filha deles vende bolacha na feira
A mocinha é bolacheira é conhecida pra xuxu
E o negocio do rapaz é de primeira
Dá forró a noite inteira pra ganhar o seu tutu
O velho vende panela, é paneleiro
A velha vende cachaça, é cachaceira
O rapaz canta forró, é forrozeiro
A moça vende bolacha, é bolacheira
É bolacheira, É bolacheira
A moça vende bolacha, é bolacheira
Translation
In that house, everyone has a business
But none of them are partners
Each one takes care of themselves
The old man has a pot business
The old woman already has hers
In cachaça and piqui
Their daughter sells cookies at the fair
The young lady is a cookie seller, she's very well known
And the young man's business is top-notch
He plays forró all night long to earn his money
The old man sells pots, he's a pot seller
The old woman sells cachaça, she's a cachaça seller
The young man sings forró, he's a forró singer
The young lady sells cookies, she's a cookie seller
She's a cookie seller, She's a cookie seller
The young lady sells cookies, she's a cookie seller
