Full lyrics
No salão tem muita gente que vem do povoado
O sanfoneiro suado do pé até o gogó
Sua camisa estava toda molhada
Gritava a rapaziada é o calor nesse forró
É calor lá dentro, é calor la fora
É calor lá dentro, quem não dança vai embora
O sanfoneiro tocando e o suor pingando
O povo todo dançando naquele forrobodó
Dentro do salão o calor já comandava
Todo mundo se molhava era mesmo de suor
Translation
In the hall there are many people who come from the village
The sanfoneiro sweating from foot to throat
His shirt was all wet
The young crowd shouted it's the heat in this forró
It's hot inside, it's hot outside
It's hot inside, whoever doesn't dance leaves
The sanfoneiro playing and the sweat dripping
All the people dancing in that forrobodó
Inside the hall the heat was already in command
Everyone was getting wet, it was really from sweat
