Full lyrics
Entrei num forró, com muito respeito
Porque sou direito e não aceito reclamação
Que decepção nada adiantou
Apagaram o candeeiro e alguém me agarrou
E tome forró, e tome forró
Que nem dava tempo de enxugar o suor
A poeira cobria, levantando o pó
Que nem dava tempo de enxugar o suor
Da noite explodia, era aquele nó
Que nem dava tempo de enxugar o suor
A morena gemia, mais tome forró
Que nem dava tempo de enxugar o suor
Translation
I entered a forró, with much respect
Because I am upright and don't accept complaints
What a disappointment, nothing helped
They put out the oil lamp and someone grabbed me
And more forró, and more forró
That there wasn't even time to wipe away the sweat
The dust covered, raising the dust
That there wasn't even time to wipe away the sweat
From the night it exploded, it was that knot
That there wasn't even time to wipe away the sweat
The brunette moaned, but keep on with the forró
That there wasn't even time to wipe away the sweat
