Full lyrics

Segura o forró minha gente

Não deixe o forró cair

Porque o forró sem vocês

Já não é mais forró

Já não tô mais aqui


É no chiado do chinelo da morena

No batuque do pandeiro

É no som do triangueiro

No ronco do zabumba

O sanfoneiro puxa o fole

Aqui a nêga não dá mole

E o forró não pode parar

Translation

Hold the forró, my people

Don't let the forró fall

Because forró without you

Is no longer forró

I'm no longer here


It's in the squeak of the morena's flip-flop

In the beat of the pandeiro

It's in the sound of the triangueiro

In the rumble of the zabumba

The accordion player pulls the bellows

Here the girl doesn't mess around

And the forró cannot stop
