Full lyrics

É de categoria o forró que a gente canta em Santa Luzia

É de cate, de cate, de categoria

O forró que a gente canta em Santa Luzia

É de caté


Quando o sanfoneiro para já tem outro pra tocar

Quando a cavalheira cansa já tem outra pra dançar

Tem gente se encostando querendo cochilar

Zabumbeiro repinica e faz o povo se acordar


Nesse dança e balança a festa amanhece o dia

Vem gente de toda parte festeja com alegria

Tem nego quase bebo que balança mas não cai

Pergunta ao sanfoneiro até quando o forró vai

Translation

The forró we sing in Santa Luzia is top-notch

It's top, top-notch

The forró we sing in Santa Luzia

It's top


When the accordion player stops, there's another to play

When the lady dancer gets tired, there's another to dance

There are people leaning, wanting to doze off

The zabumba player riffs and makes the people wake up


In this dance and sway, the party dawns the day

People come from all over, celebrating with joy

There's a guy almost drunk who sways but doesn't fall

He asks the accordion player until when the forró will go
