Full lyrics
O forró era matuto escondido
No pé-de-serra, um bicho do mato
Agora ta diferente vestido
De gente grande, bonito e falado
Já virou moda, Seu Luiz te digo
Tá elegante, portanto é verdade
O seu xodó, seu forró ta rico
Saiu da roça e estourou na cidade
Êta zoeira,
Êta balance
Êta forró
Quem te viu e quem te vê
Morena linda
O seu requebrado
Me dá um nó
Nesse forró lascado
Translation
The forró used to be hidden, rustic
In the foothills, a wild thing
Now it's different, dressed up
As a grown-up, beautiful and talked about
It's become a trend, Mr. Luiz, I tell you
It's elegant, therefore it's true
Your darling, your forró is rich
It left the countryside and exploded in the city
What a racket,
What a sway
What a forró
Who saw you and who sees you now
Beautiful brunette
Your swaying hips
Ties me in a knot
In this worn-out forró
