Full lyrics

Eu vou fazer o bolo

Que vai dar tudo por meio

É bom, é gostoso

Esse bolo, é bem brasileiro


Dois tempo de zabumba

E o triângulo bem batido

Misturando outra sanfona

Vai ser belo pedido


Enquanto pegarem o fogo

Vai ter brasa de montão

O fole passado lá no rolo do salão


É lei é foleiro não

É bom é festa de manhã só

A massa é poeira da raiz do forró


Tenho um pé de quarteto

Nem tem suco de suor

A manteiga requeijão é a Lua vindo e quentão

Translation

I'm going to make the cake

That will give everything in half

It's good, it's tasty

This cake, it's very Brazilian


Two beats of the zabumba

And the triangle well beaten

Mixing another accordion

It will be a beautiful request


While they catch the fire

There will be a pile of embers

The bellows passed there on the salon roll


It's law, it's foolish, no

It's good, it's just a morning party

The dough is dust from the root of forró


I have a foot of quartet

It doesn't even have juice of sweat

The butter, requeijão, is the Moon coming and mulled wine
