Full lyrics
O cabra bom no fole
Na latada, no capricho
Eu me enrabicho, eu me enrabicho (bis)
Uma nega boa no pé
Vige! Como eu me enrabicho
Não latada, no capricho
Eu me enrabicho, eu me enrabicho
Porque meu quengo fica aquele reboliço
Feita abelha no cortiço
Na chuvada de janeiro
Como bom forrozeiro
Já entro no forró
Fungando só, fumando brasa
Arrastando a asa
Feito pinto assanhado
Quando vê o matuleiro
E quem falou
Que o forró de chão batido
Não tem valor
Deve ser doido varrido
Ou deu no pai
Xingou a mãe,matou a vó
Não fundamelô
Repita no goro
E pra mulher
Todo cheio de êin, êi, êim
Porque forró moça bonita (bis)
Tira-gosto com birita
Nunca fez mal a ninguém
Translation
The good cabra on the fole
On the trellis, with care
I get smitten, I get smitten (bis)
A good woman dancing
Wow! How I get smitten
On the trellis, with care
I get smitten, I get smitten
Because my head gets into such a commotion
Like a bee in the hive
In the January downpour
Like a good forrozeiro
I already enter the forró
Just snorting, smoking embers
Dragging its wing
Like an excited chick
When it sees the matuleiro
And whoever said
That the forró on beaten earth
Has no value
Must be completely crazy
Or hit his father
Insulted his mother, killed his grandmother
Didn't understand
Repeat it, you fool
And to the woman
All full of 'ein, ei, eim'
Because forró, pretty girl (bis)
Snack with a drink
Never did harm to anyone
