Full lyrics
Eu sou o sanfoneiro novo
Mais toco de norte ao sul
Fico alegre, fico forte
Quando toco em pitimbú
Ali na rua do bloco
O que é bom tem de mais
Tem menino
Tem menina
Tem moça
Tem rapaz
Tem velha que diz para o velho
Hoje tem baile tu vai
A rua é boazinha
No meio passa uma fita
Vamos dançar o xodó
Na casa de João martinita
No dia que eu não chego
Pra tocar no pavilhão
Tem gente que se ajoelha
E paga ate oração
Tomara que Ivo apareça
Pra tocar xote e baião
Pitimbu tem energia
Pra nossa população
E eu tenho meu xodozinho
Pra tocar pro são João
Translation
I am the new accordion player
But I play from north to south
I become happy, I become strong
When I play in Pitimbú
There on the street of the block
What is good is abundant
There are boys
There are girls
There are young women
There are young men
There's an old woman who tells the old man
Today there's a dance, you're going
The street is nice
In the middle, a ribbon passes
Let's dance our darling dance
At João Martinita's house
On the day I don't arrive
To play at the pavilion
There are people who kneel
And even offer prayers
I hope Ivo appears
To play xote and baião
Pitimbu has energy
For our population
And I have my little sweetheart
To play for São João
