Full lyrics

Compadre pegue o fole dê no pé de Cajazeira

Que de São Paulo ao Rio está assim de pagodeira

Ta do jeito que eu queria, não podia ser melhor

Em todo clube tem sanfona, em todo canto tem forró


E é um tal de tinguelingue, tinguelingue

Tinguelingue, tinguelingue de triângulo pelo ar

Pandeiro, ganzá, sanfoneiro, zabumbeiro

Basta o cabra ter dinheiro, que tem onde farrear


Sábado e domingo não se vê mais conterrâneo

Trabalhar e fazer um plano pra voltar pro seu lugar

Vai se lembrando de lá e matando a roedeira

Nos forrós a noite inteira que já tem muito por cá

Translation

Compadre, grab the accordion, let's go to Cajazeira

From São Paulo to Rio, it's full of parties like this

It's just the way I wanted it, couldn't be better

Every club has an accordion, everywhere has forró


And it's a tinguelingue, tinguelingue

Tinguelingue, tinguelingue of triangle in the air

Pandeiro, ganzá, accordion player, zabumba player

All a guy needs is money, and he has a place to party


Saturday and Sunday you don't see any more countrymen

Working and making a plan to return to their place

They remember there and kill the longing

In forrós all night long, which there are many of here
