Full lyrics
Na subida da ladeira
ouvi o fole roncar
bati pé, levantei poeira
fiz o meu jegue andar
pra chegar no forró cedo
e para com meu bem dançar
Na subida da ladeira
ouvi o fole roncar
bati pé, levantei poeira
fiz o meu jegue andar
pra chegar no forró cedo
e para com meu bem dançar
Já em frente a casa dela
o seu perfume ja vem me encotrar
debruçada na janela
estava ela linda
ainda a me esperar
e o sanfoneiro tocando
pra mais de mil
e o povo riscando o chão
como pedra no fusil
dançamos tanto que até hoje
ouvi dizer que um forró
igual aquele ninguem mais vê
e o sanfoneiro tocando
pra mais de mil
e o povo riscando o chão
como pedra no fusil
dançamos tanto que até hoje
ouvi dizer que um forró
igual aquele ninguem mais vê
Translation
On the way up the hill
I heard the accordion roar
I stomped my foot, raised dust
Made my donkey walk
To arrive at the forró early
And to dance with my darling
On the way up the hill
I heard the accordion roar
I stomped my foot, raised dust
Made my donkey walk
To arrive at the forró early
And to dance with my darling
Already in front of her house
Her perfume already comes to meet me
Leaning on the window
There she was, beautiful
Still waiting for me
And the accordion player playing
For more than a thousand people
And the people scraping the floor
Like flint on steel
We danced so much that even today
I've heard it said that a forró
Like that one, no one sees anymore
And the accordion player playing
For more than a thousand people
And the people scraping the floor
Like flint on steel
We danced so much that even today
I've heard it said that a forró
Like that one, no one sees anymore
