Full lyrics

Aqui a gente come, a gente bebe

A gente dança

A gente se balança a noite inteira

Nossa brincadeira vai até o sol raiar

Pra não desanimar se cai na bebedeira

Fogo na fogueira, é mulher no salão

Mais juntando o coração

Assim nessa maneira

Ai gemedeira suspirando faz um tom

Que forrozinho bom

Pra se fazer besteira


Pra fazer besteira, besteira, besteira

É por isso que o povo ta chegando na carreira

Translation

Here we eat, we drink

We dance

We sway the whole night

Our fun goes until the sun rises

So as not to get discouraged if one falls into drunkenness

Fire in the bonfire, women in the hall

But joining hearts

In this manner

Oh, moaning, sighing makes a tone

What a good forrozinho

To do foolish things


To do foolish things, foolish things, foolish things

That's why people are arriving in a hurry
