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
