Full lyrics

Olha o forró de novo ai

Ta ai bonitinho como só

Agora é afinar os instrumentos

Chamar zefa, pedro, bento

Mariana e zé goró

Vai concertar uma latada que caiu

E reuniu os biriteiros lá na bodega do biu


Dança mais quem chega cedo e quer namorar

Eu aqui que não sou bobo vou aproveitar

Oi ta, ta, ta deixa o som rolar

O resto é com a gente e balance o balançar

Oi ta, ta, ta e vamos balançar

Que o forró fica melhor compadre forró por lá


Pega o candeeiro, trás aqui o candeeiro

Apague o candeeiro e economize o gás

A gandaieira hoje não tem saidera

O candeeiro na parede só acende logo mais

Translation

Look, the forró is here again

It's here, pretty as can be

Now it's time to tune the instruments

Call Zefa, Pedro, Bento

Mariana and Zé Goró

Go fix a trellis that fell down

And gathered the drinkers there at Biu's bar


Those who arrive early and want to flirt dance more

I'm not a fool, I'm going to take advantage

Hey ta, ta, ta let the sound play

The rest is up to us, and sway the swaying

Hey ta, ta, ta and let's sway

That the forró gets better, buddy, forró over there


Take the lamp, bring the lamp here

Turn off the lamp and save gas

The revelry today has no going out

The lamp on the wall only lights up later
