Full lyrics

Se teu pai deixar, nos hoje vamos vadiar.

Vamos brincar tanto, até o sol raiar.


No forró de zé lagoa, vai ter muita animação.

Vai chiquinha e margarida, os pais delas não vai não.

O seu pai também não indo, me alegra o coração.


Nós dançando a noite inteira, nos podemos namorar

Quando for no outro ano, com o vigário eu vou falar

Mesmo que seu pai não deixe, com você vou me casar

Translation

If your father lets you, we'll wander around today.

We'll play so much, until the sun rises.


At Zé Lagoa's forró, there will be a lot of excitement.

Chiquinha and Margarida will go, their parents won't.

If your father doesn't go either, it gladdens my heart.


We dancing all night long, we can date.

When it's next year, I'll talk to the vicar.

Even if your father doesn't let me, I'll marry you.
