Full lyrics
Forró na casa de Tomé
Ninguém pode reclamar
Todo mundo agarradinho
Até o dia clarear
No resfulego da sanfona todo mundo vem olhar
A blusinha da morena de suor chega a pintar
Na batida da zabumba todo mundo vêm olhar
A blusinha da morena de suor chega a pintar
Tinguelingue do triangulo todo mundo vem olhar
A blusinha da morena de suor chega a pintar
Chega a pintar, chega a pintar
A blusinha da morena de suor chega a pintar
Lá na casa de Tomé só não brinca quem não quer
Velho, menina e moça todo mundo arrasta o pé
Translation
Forró at Tomé's house
Nobody can complain
Everyone hugging tight
Until the day breaks
To the panting of the accordion everyone comes to look
The dark-haired girl's blouse even gets painted by sweat
To the beat of the zabumba everyone comes to look
The dark-haired girl's blouse even gets painted by sweat
To the ting-a-ling of the triangle everyone comes to look
The dark-haired girl's blouse even gets painted by sweat
It even gets painted, it even gets painted
The dark-haired girl's blouse even gets painted by sweat
There at Tomé's house only those who don't want to don't dance
Old man, girl and young woman everyone drags their feet
