Full lyrics
Cantando meu forró vem à lembrança
O meu tempo de criança que me faz chorar.
Ó linda flor, linda morena
Campina Grande, minha Borborema.
Me lembro de Maria Pororoca
De Josefa Triburtino, e de Carminha Vilar.
Bodocongó, Alto Branco e Zé Pinheiro
Aprendi tocar pandeiro nos forrós de lá.
Translation
Singing my forró brings to mind
My childhood time that makes me cry.
Oh beautiful flower, beautiful brunette
Campina Grande, my Borborema.
I remember Maria Pororoca
Josefa Triburtino, and Carminha Vilar.
Bodocongó, Alto Branco and Zé Pinheiro
I learned to play pandeiro at the forrós there.
