Full lyrics
O fole roncou no alto da serra
Cabroeira da minha terra
Subiu a ladeira e foi brincar
O Zé Buraco, Pé-de-Foice, Chico Manco
Peba Macho, Bode Branco
Todo mundo foi brincar
Maria Doida, Margarida Florisbela
Muito triste na janela, não dançou
Não quis entrar
Naquela noite me grudei com Juventina
E o suspiro da menina era de arrepiar
Baião bonito tão gostoso e alcoviteiro
Que apagou o candeeiro pro forró se animar
Naquela noite eu fugi com Juventina
Quem mandou a concertina
Meu juízo revirar
Eu sei que morro de bala de carabina
Mas o amor da Juventina me
Dá forças pra brigar
Translation
The bellows roared on the mountaintop
Country folk of my land
Climbed the slope and went to play
Zé Buraco, Pé-de-Foice, Chico Manco
Peba Macho, Bode Branco
Everyone went to play
Maria Doida, Margarida Florisbela
Very sad at the window, didn't dance
Didn't want to come in
That night I clung to Juventina
And the girl's sigh was hair-raising
Beautiful baião so tasty and pimping
That put out the lamp for the forró to liven up
That night I ran away with Juventina
Who sent the concertina
My judgment to turn over
I know I'll die from a rifle bullet
But Juventina's love gives me
Strength to fight
