Full lyrics
Que saudade, que vontade
De ser dono da alegria
Para afastar de mim a saudade e a covardia
Queria ter o poder
De só ver quem eu queria
Não gostar de quem não presta
Que prazer que alegria
Era quando eu dizia,
Quem tem sorte tem prazer
Os dias com alegria
Faz o novo amor nascer
Mesmo assim eu me conformo
Com minha vida cansada
Viajando pela estrada
Atado a madrugada
Só a sanfona amiga
É quem tira a minha magoa
Só ela me da prazer
Na seca sem ganhar nada
Translation
What longing, what desire
To be the owner of joy
To ward off sadness and cowardice from me
I wish I had the power
To only see who I wanted
To not like those who are worthless
What pleasure, what joy
It was when I said,
Who is lucky has pleasure
The days with joy
Makes the new love be born
Even so, I conform
With my tired life
Traveling down the road
Tied to the dawn
Only the friendly accordion
Is what takes away my sorrow
Only it gives me pleasure
In the drought without earning anything
