Forró do Velho Inácio

Old Inácio's Forró

Forró do Velho Inácio

The party was great at Old Inácio's houseA festa estava boa na casa do velho inácio
There was no embarrassment, everyone was dancingNão havia embaraço todo mundo a balançar
The accordion player punishing the accordionO sanfoneiro na sanfona castigando
And playing the eight basses non-stopE machucando os oito baixos sem parar

Old Inácio, who was the owner of the salonO velho inácio que era o dono do salão
Was putting on a show for people to enjoyFazia exibição para o povo apreciar
And everyone wanting to imitate the old manE todo mundo querendo imitar o velho
Because the old man is the best at dancingPorque o velho é o maior no balançar

Everyone danced with the old manTodo mundo balançava com o velho
Everyone dancing with the old manTodo mundo com o velho a balançar

It was already dawn and the forró continuedJá era madrugada e o forró continuava
People came from everywhere to enjoyDe todo canto chegava gente para apreciar
The dancing that Old Inácio didO balançar que o velho inácio fazia
No one could just stand and watchNinguém podia ficar olhando sem dançar

But suddenly they turned off the lampMas de repente apagaram o lampião
There was great darkness, they started to complainFoi grande a escuridão começaram a reclamar
Because they wanted to see what the old man was doingPorque queriam ver o que o velho fazia
Because the old man is the best at dancingPorque o velho é o maior no balançar
