Full lyrics
Hoje tem forrobodó
(Tem, tem, tem)
É no terreiro de Sinhá
(Tem, tem, tem)
Tem coco de roda e fandango
(Tem, tem, tem)
E quem quiser pode chegar
Que eu tô lá
(Tem, tem, tem)
Tem loirinha, tem mulata,
Menina moça e rapaz
Gente boa na umbigada
Fazendo o que ninguém faz
Hoje tem (tem, tem, tem)
Hoje tem forrobodó
(Tem, tem, tem)
É no terreiro de Sinhá
(Tem, tem, tem)
Tem coco de roda e fandango
(Tem, tem, tem)
E quem quiser pode chegar
(Tem, tem, tem)
Tem tamborim, tem pandeiro,
Cuíca, cavaco e banjo,
Tem trombone e bateria,
Violão fazendo arranjo
Hoje tem (tem, tem, tem)
Translation
Today there's forrobodó
(Yes, there is, there is)
It's in Sinhá's backyard
(Yes, there is, there is)
There's coco de roda and fandango
(Yes, there is, there is)
And whoever wants can come
Because I'm there
(Yes, there is, there is)
There are blondes, there are mulattas,
Young girls and boys
Good people doing the umbigada
Doing what no one else does
Today there is (yes, there is, there is)
Today there's forrobodó
(Yes, there is, there is)
It's in Sinhá's backyard
(Yes, there is, there is)
There's coco de roda and fandango
(Yes, there is, there is)
And whoever wants can come
(Yes, there is, there is)
There's tamborim, there's pandeiro,
Cuíca, cavaco and banjo,
There's trombone and drums,
Guitar making the arrangement
Today there is (yes, there is, there is)
