Full lyrics
Sanfoneiro, puxa o fole direitinho,
pois eu paguei pra você tocar,
e se você não quiser tocar, sanfoneiro,
eu boto outro pra tocar no seu lugar, (2x)
A gente paga o sanfoneiro pra tocar,
paga bem pago para não dar confusão,
o sanfoneiro quando vê moça bonita,
enche a cara de birita e passa o pé pela mão. (2x)
Translation
Sanfoneiro, pull the accordion properly,
because I paid for you to play,
and if you don't want to play, sanfoneiro,
I'll put another one to play in your place, (2x)
We pay the sanfoneiro to play,
pay handsomely to avoid trouble,
the sanfoneiro when he sees a pretty girl,
fills his face with birita and loses his way. (2x)
