Forró de Itaúnas

Everyone invites me to dance in Itaúnas
At the forró bar and at Tatu's hole
There plays a forró band so in tune
That plays lively, tasty, carefree
When the band plays, it's damn beautiful

The dust rises in the shuffle of the sandal
Having a chiboca, having a cipó-cravo
Dancing a 'pé de serra' and smoking a cigarette
And the young people dance in a funny way
In the shuffle of the sandal in the liveliest forró
Dancing face to face, dancing thigh to thigh

Those who don't know how to dance are left longing
And the forró promises no one to stand still
Only see people in the hall cuddling the ladies
Having a 'chiboquinha', having a cipó-cravo
I swear I've never seen a livelier forró
And the girls spin like a spinning top
And the guys there on the side holding her hand
Put the thigh in the middle, lift her foot off the ground
Throw her from side to side, release her in the hall

Itaúnas is famous for the way of dancing
Dance poor, dance rich, dance until the sun rises
Dance miner, carioca, capixaba and paulista
Ugly guy dances, many pretty girls dance
