Full lyrics
Sanfoneiro bom quando pega no fole
Ele tem um dedo mole e se vê o fole falar
Toque sanfoneiro que eu paguei a cota
Vou dançar a noite inteira e quero ver o sol raiar
Sanfoneiro ruim não ganha dinheiro
Vai dar duro como eu dou se quiser ganhar
Só gosto de forró bom e pago cota sanfoneiro
E quando vejo no forró e vejo o fole falar
As meninas se agarram com os cavalheiros
Rodam no meio do salão e começam a gritar
Fala pro sanfoneiro por favor não pare
Nesse forró bom eu quero me acabar
Translation
A good accordion player, when he grabs the bellows,
He has a soft touch and you can see the bellows speak
Play, accordion player, I paid my share
I'll dance all night and I want to see the sun rise
A bad accordion player doesn't earn money
He'll work hard like I do if he wants to earn
I only like good forró and I pay my share, accordion player
And when I see it at the forró, I see the bellows speak
The girls cling to the gentlemen
They spin in the middle of the hall and start to shout
Tell the accordion player, please don't stop
In this good forró I want to lose myself
