Full lyrics
Forró com amor, com muita paixão
Dança até as cadeiras que tem pé
Dentro do salão
Mais forró sem amor, sem um chamego bom
É um fole desafinado, sanfoneiro embriagado
Saindo do tom
Por isso muito cuidado cavalheiro
Quando entrar no forró
Se não tiver um candeeiro
Morena boa de cheiro a gente cai no mocotó
Eu conheço um forró bom, com amor
Quando o fole é tocado, com amor
Fazendo um floreado, com amor
Caprichando no tom, com amor
Eu me entrego e me deito, com amor
Quando o meu xodó vem, com amor
Fazendo um remelexo, com amor
Naquele vai e vem
Translation
Forró with love, with much passion
Even hips that have feet dance
Inside the hall
But forró without love, without good affection
Is an out-of-tune accordion, a drunk accordion player
Going out of tune
Therefore be very careful, gentleman
When entering the forró
If you don't have a lamp
A good-scented brunette, one falls head over heels
I know a good forró, with love
When the accordion is played, with love
Making an embellishment, with love
Taking great care with the tone, with love
I surrender myself and give in, with love
When my xodó comes, with love
Making a swaying movement, with love
In that back and forth
