Full lyrics
Tava de lascá o cano,
Tava de lascá o cano de bom
Tava de lascá o cano
O forró da gafieira do Coriolano
(coro repete)
Começaram dançando mazurca
Que é dança baiana 100%
Tinha um cabra tocando berimbau
Que pra mim é o maior dos instrumentos
Eu que estava lá fora nessa hora
Agarrei Liodora e caí dentro
Tava de lascá o cano,
Tava de lascá o cano de bom
Tava de lascá o cano
O forró da gafieira do Coriolano
(2x)
Liodora que é muito ciumenta
E não era mulher de brincadeira
Quando ouviu o tilir do berimbau
Começou balançando na cadeira
E somente pra não me deixar só
Balançou o cocó a noite inteira
Translation
It was incredible,
It was incredibly good
It was incredible
The forró at Coriolano's dance hall
(chorus repeats)
They started dancing mazurka
Which is a 100% Bahian dance
There was a cabra playing berimbau
Which for me is the greatest of instruments
I who was outside at that hour
Grabbed Liodora and went in
It was incredible,
It was incredibly good
It was incredible
The forró at Coriolano's dance hall
(2x)
Liodora who is very jealous
And she was not a woman to mess with
When she heard the jingle of the berimbau
She started swaying in her chair
And just so as not to leave me alone
She swayed her hips all night long
