Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Do Jeito Que A Gente Gosta by Elba Ramalho from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Cai, cai moreno
Fall, falls dark
No fuá que ainda é cedo
No fuá that is still early
Sanfoneiro, empurre o dedo
Sanfoneiro, push your finger
Bote o fole pra chorar
Put the bellows to cry
Nessa pisada
In this stride
Eu vou até cair de costa
I'm going to fall off the coast
O forró tá animado
The forró is excited
Do jeito que a gente gosta
The way we like it
Bumba a zabumba
Bumba to zabumba
Oi! bum... bum... ba
Hi! Boom... Boom... Ba
Castiga de lá sanfoneiro
Punishes from there sanfoneiro
Que eu quero ver a paia da cana voar
That I want to see the mother of the cane fly
Que hoje eu sou
That today I am
Seu dengo... seu xodó
Your dengo... your xodó
Repara... que xamego
Look... that xamego
Vamos xamegar
Let's xamegar
