Full lyrics
Vamos animar à brincadeira, minha gente, a noite inteira, vamos animar.
Vamos animar à brincadeira, minha gente, a noite inteira, até o sol raiar.
Onde tem galho de espinho geralmente tem fulo
Onde tem cachaça boa, tem cabra bom bebedor
Onde tem um sanfoneiro, com certeza tem forró
Onde tem mulher bonita, homem não quer ficar só
Onde tem gente chorando, vem alguém para alegrar.
Onde tem gente sorrindo, agente ajuda a gargalhar.
Onde tem amor morrendo, é outro amor que vai nascer.
Onde tem gente bebendo, é forro que vamos ter
Translation
Let's liven up the fun, my people, the whole night, let's liven up.
Let's liven up the fun, my people, the whole night, until the sun rises.
Where there's a thorny branch, usually there's a flower
Where there's good cachaça, there's a good drinker
Where there's a sanfoneiro, for sure there's forró
Where there's a beautiful woman, a man doesn't want to be alone
Where there are people crying, someone comes to cheer them up.
Where there are people smiling, we help them laugh out loud.
Where love is dying, it's another love that will be born.
Where there are people drinking, it's forró that we will have
