Full lyrics

É No forró de pé de serra

Que a alegria é muito maior

É numa luz de candeeiro,

Na palhoça ou no terreiro

Que a gente nunca fica só

É no chão de barro batido

Que o caboclo se agarra

Com a morena dançadeira

E vai até o fim da festa, balançando,

Balançando, balançando as cadeiras


É ai que a noite passa e ninguém vê

O candeeiro se apaga e ninguém vê

Mais o sanfoneiro toma uma

E todo mundo grita logo to de olho em você


Para de beber zabumbeiro

Para de beber sanfoneiro

Catuca o dedo nesse fole

Que o povo no terreiro ta querendo é balançar

Para de beber Zé do Brejo

Alguém grita no meio do salão

O sanfoneiro pega fogo

Vou pegar minha sanfona

E o forró não para não


Oi, tum, tum, tum, tum, tum é triangada

Tum, tum, tum, tum, tum, é zabumbada

Tum, tum, tum, tum, tum é sanfonada

Tum, tum, tum, tum, tum

Translation

It's in the 'pé de serra' forró

That the joy is much greater

It's in the light of an oil lamp,

In the straw hut or in the yard

That we are never alone

It's on the beaten clay floor

That the backwoodsman grabs

The dancing brunette

And goes until the end of the party, swaying,

Swaying, swaying their hips


That's where the night passes and no one sees

The oil lamp goes out and no one sees

But the accordion player has a drink

And everyone shouts, I'm watching you


Stop drinking, zabumba player

Stop drinking, accordion player

Poke your finger in that bellows

Because the people in the yard want to sway

Stop drinking, Zé do Brejo

Someone shouts in the middle of the hall

The accordion player catches fire

I'm going to get my accordion

And the forró doesn't stop


Hey, tum, tum, tum, tum, tum, it's triangada (triangle sound)

Tum, tum, tum, tum, tum, it's zabumbada (zabumba sound)

Tum, tum, tum, tum, tum, it's sanfonada (accordion sound)

Tum, tum, tum, tum, tum
