Full lyrics
Quem foi que disse, que o forró era do mato
E que sanfoneiro, era sempre um beberrão
Quase que a sanfona, vai-se num conto ingrato
Mas o forrozeiro, curte bem sua paixão!
Quase que a sanfona, vai-se num conto ingrato
Mas o forrozeiro, curte bem sua paixão!
Tá pra quem falou, tá pra quem gozou
Tá e com a bênção do bom frei damião
Tá para quem gosta do chamego tradição
Tai o forró, não tem jeito não!
Tá para quem gosta do chamego tradição
Tai o forró, não tem jeito não!
Translation
Who said that forró was from the bush
And that a sanfona player was always a drunkard
Almost that the sanfona would be lost in an ungrateful tale
But the forró dancer enjoys his passion well!
Almost that the sanfona would be lost in an ungrateful tale
But the forró dancer enjoys his passion well!
It's for those who spoke, it's for those who mocked
It is, and with the blessing of good Frei Damião
It's for those who like the chamego tradition
Here is forró, there's no way around it!
It's for those who like the chamego tradition
Here is forró, there's no way around it!
