Full lyrics
Eu tava passeando
Lá em Novo Exu
Ví um forrozinho
Quente prá chuchu
Tinha que ter muque
Pra entrar alí
Eu entrei de duque
Com Amaroli
Quem tava tocando era Camarão
Aquele burrego tem pauta cum cão
Quando foi chegando o Mané Gambá
Todo mundo foi gritando
Esse aí não dá
Segura, segura o Mané Gambá
Segura esse sujeito
Não deixe ele entrar
Segura, segura o Mané Gambá
Se ele entrar nesse forró
Ninguém pode mais dançar
Translation
I was strolling
There in Novo Exu
I saw a little forró
Super hot
You had to have muscle
To get in there
I entered like a duke
With Amaroli
Who was playing was Camarão
That fellow has a pact with the devil
When Mané Gambá was arriving
Everyone started shouting
That one won't do
Hold, hold Mané Gambá
Hold this guy
Don't let him in
Hold, hold Mané Gambá
If he enters this forró
No one can dance anymore
