Full lyrics
Ai, cumpadre tá na hora
Pegue a jega, dá na espora
De banda, vamos embora
De poeira afora
Vamos sumir na poeira
Poeira com nosso fifirifom
Pra um lugar
Que forró todo tempo é bom
Aonde o fole velho
Toca o ano inteiro
E o forrozeiro
Esbandáia o coração
Grudado na morena e tome
E tome cheiro
E o sanfoneiro
Todo tempo tem razão
Translation
Oh, buddy, it's time
Grab the jenny, spur it on
Let's get going, let's leave
Through the dust
Let's disappear into the dust
Dust with our fifirifom
To a place
Where forró is good all the time
Where the old bellows
Plays all year long
And the forrozeiro
Pours out his heart
Stuck to the brunette and keep on
And take in her scent
And the accordion player
Is always right
