Full lyrics
No meu forró, entra preto e branco,
quero ver todo mundo calçadinho de tamanco,
a noite inteira quero ver o barulhão
das menininhas arrastando tamanco no chão
é, é, tamanco, mulher(4x)
No meu tempo de criança
eu era menino chato
que não me falhe a lembrança
eu só andava de sapato
mas agora eu sou grande
e mudei de opinião
acho muito bonitinho
o arrastado do tamanco no chão.
é, é, tamanco, mulher(4x)
No meu forró, entra preto e branco,
quero ver todo mundo calçadinho de tamanco,
a noite inteira quero ver o barulhão
das menininhas arrastando tamanco no chão.
é, é, tamanco, mulher(4x)
No meu tempo de criança
eu era menino chato
que não me falhe a lembrança
eu só andava de sapato,
mas agora eu sou grande
e mudei de opinião
acho muito bonitinho
o arrastado do tamanco no chão.
é, é, tamanco, mulher(4x)
é, é, tamanco, mulher(4x)
Translation
In my forró, black and white enter,
I want to see everyone wearing clogs,
All night long I want to hear the noise
of the girls dragging clogs on the floor.
yeah, yeah, clogs, woman (4x)
In my childhood
I was a bratty boy
If my memory serves me right
I only wore shoes
But now I'm grown up
And I've changed my mind
I think it's very cute
The dragging of clogs on the floor.
yeah, yeah, clogs, woman (4x)
In my forró, black and white enter,
I want to see everyone wearing clogs,
All night long I want to hear the noise
of the girls dragging clogs on the floor.
yeah, yeah, clogs, woman (4x)
In my childhood
I was a bratty boy
If my memory serves me right
I only wore shoes,
But now I'm grown up
And I've changed my mind
I think it's very cute
The dragging of clogs on the floor.
yeah, yeah, clogs, woman (4x)
yeah, yeah, clogs, woman (4x)
