Full lyrics

No meu forró entra preto e branco

Quero ver todo mundo com calçadinho de tamanco

A noite inteira quero ouvir o barulhão

Das menininhas arrastando o tamanco no chão


É é tamanco mulher, é é tamanco mulher

É é tamanco mulher, é é tamanco mulher


No meu tempo de criança eu era menino chato

Se não me falha a lembrança eu só andava de sapato

Mas agora que sou grande e mudei de opinião

Acho muito bonitinho arrastar o tamanco no chão

Translation

In my forró black and white people come in

I want to see everyone wearing little clogs

The whole night I want to hear the loud noise

Of the little girls dragging their clogs on the floor


It's clogs, woman, it's clogs, woman

It's clogs, woman, it's clogs, woman


In my childhood I was a picky boy

If memory serves me right I only wore shoes

But now that I'm grown up and I changed my mind

I find it very cute to drag the clogs on the floor
