Full lyrics
Fiz uma festa pra peão de boiadeiro
Fazendeiro e vaqueiros vieram participar
Arrumei tudo e contratei um sanfoneiro
Cabra do dedo ligeiro bem famoso no lugar
Ele chegou botando ordem no terreiro
Era cada forrozada da poeira levantar
A mulherada ficava mandando beijo
O cabra se empolgou e começou a improvisar
Mete o dedo na sanfona sanfoneiro
Toque direito para de furunfunfar
Não se esqueça que paguei adiantado
Deixe de ser amostrado e toque pro povo dançar
Translation
I made a party for cowboys
Ranchers and vaqueiros came to participate
I arranged everything and hired a sanfoneiro
A guy with quick fingers, very famous in the area
He arrived setting the pace in the terreiro
Each forrozada made the dust rise
The women kept sending kisses
The guy got excited and started to improvise
Play the sanfona, sanfoneiro
Play properly, stop messing around
Don't forget that I paid in advance
Stop showing off and play for the people to dance
