Full lyrics
Fui convidado pro forró
Lá em campinas
Nossa, como tem menina
Êta forrozão
Tem paulistinha, mineirinha e carioca
Quando a sanfona toca só se vê o poeirão
A meia noite eu estava lá
Me chamaram pra dançar
E eu não dei mole
Abra esse fole
Toque um forró rasgado
E caia no peneirado
Como diz o tocador
Oi, eu
Dançando bem miudinho
Oi, eu
Agarradinho no forró
Tô eu
No chiado da chinela
Quem é bom não se engambela
Dança até levantar pó
Translation
I was invited to the forró
There in Campinas
Wow, how many girls there are
What a great forró
There are paulistinha, mineirinha and carioca
When the sanfona plays, all you see is dust
At midnight I was there
They called me to dance
And I didn't hold back
Open that accordion
Play a lively forró
And fall into the sway
As the musician says
Hey, me
Dancing very small steps
Hey, me
Clinging close in the forró
Here I am
In the squeak of the flip-flop
Whoever is good doesn't get tricked
Dances until the dust rises
