Full lyrics
Quando eu chego no forró
E tem morena bonita
Vou olhando de fininho
Qual eu vou tirar
Se ela não me cortar
Eu saio dançando de maneiro
No balanço do pandeiro
E a sanfona a florear
Quando é lá pra meia noite
Já estamos namorando
E o povo censurando
E criticando o nosso amor
Eu pego ela, e saio nela dando um cheiro
No forró casamenteiro pra mim tudo melhorou
Que forró bom
Melhor não há
É o forró casamenteiro
Pra se namorar
Translation
When I arrive at the forró
And there are pretty brunettes
I look subtly
Which one I'll take out
If she doesn't cut me off
I start dancing smoothly
To the rhythm of the tambourine
And the accordion embellishing
When it's around midnight
We're already dating
And the people censoring
And criticizing our love
I grab her, and I start kissing her
In the matchmaking forró everything got better for me
What a good forró
There's none better
It's the matchmaking forró
For dating
