Full lyrics

Só entro naquele forro, se for com ela

Só vou naquele forro, se ela quiser

Os botões da sanfoninha, pode ser de ouro

E o couro do zabumba pode ser de jacaré

Mas se meu bem não for, eu também não vou

Sei que a dança é boa e é gostoso arrasta-pé


Que adianta eu entrar nesse forro

É o mesmo que estar só num bando de mulher

Sabe como é, sabe como é

Gosto da minha morena

Da cabeça ate o pé


Ela me prende assim

Ela gosta de mim

Por ela eu mato e morro

Faço tudo o que puder


Eu corro pro mato

Eu subo pro morro

Eu peço socorro

Mas eu amo aquela mulher

Translation

I only enter that forro, if it's with her

I only go to that forro, if she wants

The buttons of the sanfoninha, can be made of gold

And the leather of the zabumba can be alligator

But if my darling doesn't go, I won't go either

I know the dance is good and the arrasta-pé is enjoyable


What's the point of me entering this forro

It's the same as being alone in a crowd of women

You know how it is, you know how it is

I like my brunette

From head to toe


She holds me like this

She likes me

For her I kill and die

I do everything I can


I run to the bush

I climb the hill

I ask for help

But I love that woman
