Full lyrics
Minha moçada, arrumei um sanfoneiro
Um nego do dedo ligeiro pra tocar no meu forró
Tá convidado todo mundo da ribeira
Pra cair na brincadeira, hoje o chão levanta pó
E a chuvarada trouxe muita alegria
Vai amanhecer o dia
E vai ter milho pra assar
Eu arrumei o terreiro bem à tardinha
Quando chegar a noitinha
Eu sei que o fole vai roncar
(coro repete)
Eu quero alegria nesse meu terreiro
Hoje o mundo inteiro vai forrofiar
Toque sanfoneiro, bote bonitinho
Não falta carinho pra quem quer amar
Já tem cabra afoito com duas bicadas
E a mulherada numa pisada só
Eu que não sou besta, tô no meu cantinho
Nesse chameguinho, com o meu xodó
Translation
My young folks, I found a sanfoneiro
A fellow with quick fingers to play at my forró
Everyone from the riverside is invited
To join the fun, today the ground will kick up dust
And the heavy rain brought much joy
The day will break
And there will be corn to roast
I tidied the yard late in the afternoon
When evening arrives
I know the accordion will roar
(chorus repeats)
I want joy in my yard
Today the whole world will forrofiar
Play, sanfoneiro, play beautifully
There's no lack of affection for those who want to love
There are already eager guys with two sips
And the women dancing hard
I, who am not foolish, am in my little corner
In this loving embrace, with my xodó
