Forró do Apagão
Mestre Zinho
Blackout Forró
Let's light the lantern
Illuminate this yard
And cheer up the heart
Friend, go call the accordion player
Because a forró house
Must have excitement
Get the girls' phone numbers
Put gas in the lamp
I want to see the dust
After they invented electric light
Now they invented the blackout
You can turn off that nuisance
Forró is only good
By the light of the lamp
Put gas in the lamp
My dear, to illuminate
My dear, to brighten
My dear, your heart.
