Full lyrics

Menina nova quando entra num torrado

Fica de sangue agitado não se importa com ninguém

Sacode a saia, pula dentro do pagode.

Se tiver um pé-de-bode machucando um xenhenhem


Vem lá de frente pega logo um cavalheiro

Olha pro sanfoneiro e manda tocar xerém

Vai esquentando torrado na pagodeira

E é assim a noite inteira nesse vai e vem


Nesse vai e vem,

Nesse vai e vem,

É um chamego da moléstia, Nesse vai e vem

Nesse vai e vem

Nesse vai e vem

Vai dançando a noite inteira, Nesse vai e vem


Cabra danado que não tiver bom do pé

Nem aprender o que é um torrado de moça nova

Se não der prosa, nem a moça que lhe tem

Eu acho que não convem nem tentar ficar prosa

Eu já estou acostumado com forro

Molhadinho de suor e um fungado no pescoço

Eu não sou moço mais agüento essa pisada

Quando chega a madrugada, ai dou um colosso.

Translation

Young woman when she enters a torrado

Her blood gets agitated, she doesn't care about anyone

She shakes her skirt, jumps into the pagode.

If there's a pé-de-bode playing a xenhenhem


She comes from the front, immediately grabs a gentleman

Looks at the sanfoneiro and tells him to play xerém

The torrado heats up in the pagodeira

And it's like this all night long in this back and forth


In this back and forth,

In this back and forth,

It's an incredible chamego, In this back and forth

In this back and forth

In this back and forth

Keeps dancing all night long, In this back and forth


A damn fellow who isn't good on his feet

Nor learns what a torrado with a young woman is

If he doesn't engage in conversation, nor the girl he has

I think it's not appropriate to even try to become confident

I'm already used to forró

Soaked in sweat and a sniff on the neck

I'm not young, but I can handle this pace

When dawn arrives, oh, I take a big rest.
