Full lyrics

Eu fui num forró na casa do biu

Cheguei bem calado ninguém me viu

Sai agarrado com uma nega boa

Malandro é o gato eu não fico a toa


Malandro é o gato que já nasce de bigode

Que bicho danado com ele ninguém pode

Só pega as gatinhas que ele quer

Come peixe sem pescar só cai de pé


Não fico a toa sou filho de seu ramalho

Nesse forró é que eu me espalho

Ficar sozinho não sei como é

To sempre agarrado no cangote da mulher

Translation

I went to a forró at Biu's house

I arrived quietly, no one saw me

I left holding a good black woman

A rascal is the cat, I don't stay idle


A rascal is the cat that is born with a mustache

What a naughty animal, no one can with him

He only catches the kittens he wants

He eats fish without fishing, always lands on his feet


I don't stay idle, I'm the son of Mr. Ramalho

In this forró is where I spread myself

I don't know what it's like to be alone

I'm always holding onto the woman's neck
