Forró de Tóquio
Falamansa Lyrics

Forró em Tóquio, toque, toque xote,
There's Forró in Tokyo, playing the upbeat Xote rhythm,

Sanfoneiro toque xote no forró de Tóquio
A skilled accordion player is playing the Xote rhythm at Tokyo's Forró dance party

Forró de Tóquio, êta forró legal,
Tokyo's Forró is a great party,

Era um forró miojo lá minha oriental,
An oriental girl was cooking instant noodles at the Forró party in Tokyo,

O sanfoneiro era Michiú,
The accordion player's name was Michiú,

Cansou de levar porrada de lutar em kung-fú,
He got tired of being beaten up while practicing kung-fu,

No lugar da xiboquinha tinha o saquê,
Instead of the traditional sugarcane liquor, there was sake at the party,

Dançando o japa só gritava, isso é melhor que karatê,
The Japanese people dancing there were shouting that Forró is better than karate,

A mulherada, toda apreensiva,
The women were all nervous,

Tem gringo na festa, e eu fiquei na defensiva,
There were foreigners at the party, so I was on the defensive,

Esse forró num é pra estrangeiro,
This Forró is not for foreigners,

Então eu disse, como pode, se o forró é brasileiro,
So I said, how can that be, since Forró is Brazilian,

O samuray estava aperreado,
The samurai was troubled,

Pois pra entrar na dança ele deixou a espada de lado,
Because in order to dance, he had to set his sword aside,

E no final a surpresa é geral,
And in the end, the surprise was general,

Dançava até o Tamagochi, aquele bicho virtual
Even the virtual pet Tamagotchi was dancing along in Tokyo's Forró party,
