Full lyrics

O povo quer forró

Um xote e um arrasta-pé

Um dengo, um amor e um carinho

Me diga quem é que não quer


Vou fazer você mecher

A cintura se requebrar

Arrastar a chinela no chão

O corpo todinho suar


Com zabumba, triangulo e sanfona

Falando de amor e sertão

Escute o chiado da chinela

E vê subir o poeirão

Translation

The people want forró

A xote and an arrasta-pé

A sweet affection, a love and a caress

Tell me, who doesn't want that?


I'm going to make you move

Your waist wiggling

Dragging your slipper on the floor

Your whole body sweating


With zabumba, triangle and accordion

Talking about love and the backlands

Listen to the squeak of the slipper

And watch the dust rise
