Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Forró Do Poeirão by Elba Ramalho from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Quem não quiser dançar
Who doesn't want to dance
Saia do meio do salão
Get out of the middle of the hall
Que dança hoje
What a dance today
É pra quem tem disposição
It's for those who are willing
A mulherada tá na base da chinela
The woman is at the base of the chinela
O suor tá na canela
Sweat's on the shin
Quero ver o poeirão
I want to see the poeirão
Quero ver o poeirão levantar
I want to see the poeirão get up
Na batida do baião levantar
On the beat of the baião lift
Quero ver o poeirão
I want to see the poeirão
Agarradinho no salão levantar
Grabbing in the hall to get up
Machucando o coração levantar
Hurting the heart get up
Quero ver esse moreno que você tem
I want to see this brunette you have
Quero ouvir a batidinha do seu coração
I want to hear the beating of your heart
Quero ter você comigo
I want to have you with me
Quero o seu bem
I want your good
Quero esse menino
I want this boy
Levantar o poeirão
Raise the poeirão
