Full lyrics
Eu quero ver o sol
Eu quero ver o dia
O ronco desse fole
Com muita alegria
Cuidado tocador
É pra tocar direitinho
O forró tá animado
E ainda tá escurinho
tá tá tá tá
Amanhecendo o dia
E tá gostoso pra danar
tá tá tá tá
E o povo dizendo
Deixa o dia clarear
O sanfoneiro toca o dedo nesse fole
Toque um mastigadinho da poeira levantar
A mulherada tá botando pra quebrar
E ao raiar do dia já começa a clarear
Translation
I want to see the sun
I want to see the day
The roar of this fole
With great joy
Careful, musician
You need to play it right
The forró is lively
And it's still a bit dark
ta ta ta ta
The day is dawning
And it's incredibly good
ta ta ta ta
And the people saying
Let the day brighten
The sanfona player plays their finger on this fole
Play a choppy rhythm to make the dust rise
The women are dancing hard
And at the break of day, it already starts to brighten
