Full lyrics
Fizeram um forró
Na bica em João pessoa
Pregaram um aviso
Só entra mulher boa
O porteiro é durão
Quem insiste se trumbica
Pois no forró da bica
Só entra mulher bonita
As mulheres bonitas
Vão entrar na bica
Vão entrar na bica
Vão entrar na bica
Triangulo, sanfona
Zabumba em ritma do baião
Tinha gente pra danado
Tava boa a animação
As feias lá por fora
Sem poder entrar
Inventaram esse refrão
E começaram a cantar
Translation
They threw a forró party
At the spring in João Pessoa
They put up a sign
Only good women enter
The doorman is tough
Whoever insists gets hurt
Because in the forró at the spring
Only beautiful women enter
The beautiful women
Will enter at the spring
Will enter at the spring
Will enter at the spring
Triangle, accordion
Zabumba in the rhythm of the baião
There were lots of people
The atmosphere was good
The ugly ones outside
Unable to enter
Invented this refrain
And started to sing
