Full lyrics
Forró que nem aquele na pedra do queijo
Forró que nem aquele nunca mais eu vejo
O tocado do forró da pedra
Era mane de pedra tocando no realejo
E quem falava em outro tocador
O dançador matava o desejo
Tinha bebida e tinha gororoba
Tinha mulher de sobra na pedra do queijo
Um dia desses eu dançar num baile
Só dava rali gali e muito iê iê iê
Só sei dizer que eu estava dançando
O povo mandando e fazendo gracejos
Disseram que eu estava só no miudinho
Daquele jeitinho da pedra do queijo
Translation
A forró like that one at Pedra do Queijo
A forró like that one I'll never see again
The playing of the forró of the stone
It was a rock-solid guy playing the barrel organ
And whoever spoke of another musician
The dancer killed the desire
There was drink and there was slop
There were women to spare at Pedra do Queijo
One of these days I danced at a party
It was only rali gali and a lot of iê iê iê
All I know is that I was dancing
The people ordering and making jests
They said I was only doing the miudinho
In that little way of Pedra do Queijo
