Full lyrics

O baião vai

O baião vai, se levantar

Ele é nordestino

E não foge sem lutar

Onde nasceu o baião


No coração do agreste

Dominou norte-nordeste

Invadiu toda nação

Causou até sensação

Pras bandas do estrangeiro

E voltou mais brasileiro

Do que cacau e feijão


Ele é o lamento

Da alma do meu sertão

Ai baião, você não pode partir

Ai baião, o povo te quer aqui

Para reviver

A glória dos dias teus

E a voz do povo

É a voz de Deus

Translation

The baião goes

The baião goes, to rise up

It is Northeastern

And doesn't flee without a fight

Where baião was born


In the heart of the agreste

It dominated North-Northeast

Invaded the whole nation

Even caused a sensation

Towards foreign lands

And returned more Brazilian

Than cocoa and beans


It is the lament

Of the soul of my sertão

Oh baião, you cannot leave

Oh baião, the people want you here

To revive

The glory of your days

And the voice of the people

Is the voice of God
