Full lyrics

a onda agora é

forró pra aqui, forró pra lá

pra todo lugar


se as moreninhas querem

dançar forró, então, vamos vadiar


de madrugada, quando a barra

tiver vindo e o forró tiver tinindo

deixando cair, a gente aqui pra mostrar

que é forrozeiro, vou parar o sanfoneiro

pra quem tá lá fora ouvir


só o chiado, do chinelo, chinelando

chineleiro com o chinelo

só no chão a chinelar

chineleiro

olha o chinelo coração no salão chineleiro

com o fole a folemar

Translation

the wave now is

forró here, forró there

everywhere


if the brunettes want

to dance forró, then let's wander


at dawn, when the vibe

is coming and the forró is ringing

letting it fall, we're here to show

that we're forrozeiros, I'll stop the accordion player

so those outside can hear


only the squeak, of the sandal, sandaling

sandaler with the sandal

only on the floor to sandal

sandaler

look at the sandal heart in the sandaler hall

with the bellows to bellows


the wave now is

forró here, forró there

everywhere
