Full lyrics
O segredo do forró ta no pé do cavalheiro
Quando ele pega a dama e sai dançando maneiro
É melhor do que dinheiro, é melhor do que café
Forrozeiro pega a dama e mostra que ta bom no pé
Meu forró não tem segredo
Pra quem sabe forrozar
No caquiado da chinela e do sapato
No cantinho da parede é só plic plic plá
A poeira se mistura com o cheirinho de mulher
Cavalheiro pegue a dama e mostre que ta bom no pé
Translation
The secret of the forró is in the gentleman's foot
When he takes the lady and goes out dancing smoothly
It's better than money, it's better than coffee
Forró dancer takes the lady and shows he's good on his feet
My forró has no secret
For those who know how to dance forró
In the shuffling of the flip-flop and the shoe
In the corner of the wall it's just plic plic plá
The dust mixes with the scent of woman
Gentleman take the lady and show that you're good on your feet
