Full lyrics
Nasci com uma sina de cigarra
Aonde eu chegar, tem farra.
(coro repete)
Ei, ei, ei
Nasci pra cantar, eu cantarei
(coro repete)
Vive o pedreiro do prumo
A abelha do sumo
O pescador do anzol...
O campeão da taça
O camelô da praça
E eu canto forró.
(coro repete)
Translation
I was born with a cicada's fate
Wherever I arrive, there's a party.
(chorus repeats)
Hey, hey, hey
I was born to sing, I will sing
(chorus repeats)
The bricklayer lives by the plumb line
The bee by the nectar
The fisherman by the hook...
The champion by the cup
The street vendor by the square
And I sing forró.
(chorus repeats)
