Full lyrics
É no escurinho que o sujeito aperta a dama
Remexe, balança e chama remoendo num canto só
Ela requebra, ela balança, ela gagueja
Não pense que é safadeza é o balanço do forró
É balançando que o sujeito puxa o fole
Não dando mole pro povo forroriar
O cabra pega no cangote e da um beijo
Mostrando que o chamego não tem hora pra parar
Vou balançando molhadinho de suor
É o rojão no sertão de caicó
Dou-lhe um arroxo lhe pegando de surpresa
Não pense que é safadeza é o balanço do forró
Translation
It's in the dim light that the fellow holds the lady tight
He wiggles, sways, and stirs, grinding in one spot
She sways her hips, she sways, she trembles
Don't think it's naughtiness, it's the sway of the forró
It's swaying that the fellow plays the accordion
Not letting up for the people to dance forró
The cabra grabs the nape of the neck and gives a kiss
Showing that the chamego has no time to stop
I go swaying, drenched in sweat
It's the rojão in the sertão of Caicó
I give you a tight squeeze, catching you by surprise
Don't think it's naughtiness, it's the sway of the forró
