Full lyrics
Saculeja, saculeja, saculeja o fole
Cuidado sanfoneiro se não vai dar bole
Aqui nesse forró a gente chinela
A gente se mela coladinho nela
Aqui nesse forró a gente aperta
A gente gosta
A gente dá um nó na cintura dela
Translation
Shake, shake, shake the accordion
Be careful, accordion player, or it will go wrong
Here in this forró we shuffle our feet
We get sticky, glued to her
Here in this forró we hold tight
We like it
We tie a knot around her waist
