2 min read

Forró is a popular music and dance style originating from the northeastern region of Brazil. It encompasses a vibrant culture of rhythm, movement, and storytelling, deeply rooted in Brazilian traditions and identity. The term forró is believed to have come from the Portuguese word forrobodó, meaning a party or celebration, although some folklore suggests it evolved from the phrase “for all.”

It’s a trick of my mind Two faces bathing in the screen light She’s so soft and warm in my arms I tune it into the scene My hands are resting on her shoulders When we’re dancing away for a while Oh, we’re moving, we’re falling We step into the fire By the hour of the wolf in a midnight dream There’s no reason to hurry Just start the brand-new story Set it alight, we’re head over heels in love Head over heels The ringing of your laughter It sounds like a melody To once-forbidden places We’ll go for a while The ringing of your laughter It sounds like a melody To once-forbidden places We’ll go for a while It’s the definite show Our shadows resting in the moonlight It’s so clear and bright in your eyes It’s the touch of your sighs My lips are resting on your shoulder When we’re moving so soft and slow We need the ecstasy, the jealousy The comedy of love Like the Cary Grants and Kellys once before Give me more tragedy, more harmony And fantasy, my dear And set it alight, just starting that satellite Set it alight The ringing of your laughter It sounds like a melody To once-forbidden places We’ll go for a while The ringing of your laughter It sounds like a melody To once-forbidden places We’ll go for a while
