Full lyrics
Vez em quando vem uma banda sacudindo toda a feira
Vem gente de toco canto só pra ver
A banda tocando de tudo que vem da raiz aqui do meu pais
E toda a cultura vivida a banda não deixa morrer
O povo no pulso da banda cantando a ciranda da vez
Enquanto isso o sanfoneiro muda o ritmo
Para o povo conhecer o que tem de melhor
Aqui dentro do meu Brasil
Vamos, vem de pressa ver a banda lá na feira
Arrastando todo mundo que se encontra dando bobeira
Vamos, vem de pressa ver a banda lá na feira
Arrastando todo mundo pro baião e a capoeira
Vem de vez em quando uma banda lá na feira
Tocando maracatu, xote, xaxado e capoeira
Coco de roda, maxixe, fandango
Tem a moda de viola, choro, samba e gafieira
O povo no pulso da banda dançando a ciranda da vez
Enquanto isso o sanfoneiro muda o ritmo
Para o povo conhecer o que tem de melhor
Aqui dentro do meu Brasil
Vamos, vem de pressa ver a banda lá na feira
Arrastando todo mundo que se encontra dando bobeira
Vamos, vem de pressa ver a banda lá na feira
Arrastando todo mundo pro baião e a capoeira
Translation
From time to time a band comes shaking up the whole fair
People come from every corner just to see
The band playing everything that comes from the roots here in my country
And all the lived culture the band doesn't let die
The people to the beat of the band singing the ciranda of the moment
Meanwhile the accordion player changes the rhythm
So the people can know what's best
Here within my Brazil
Come on, come quickly to see the band at the fair
Pulling everyone who is just hanging around
Come on, come quickly to see the band at the fair
Pulling everyone for baião and capoeira
From time to time a band comes to the fair
Playing maracatu, xote, xaxado, and capoeira
Coco de roda, maxixe, fandango
There's viola folk music, choro, samba, and gafieira
The people to the beat of the band dancing the ciranda of the moment
Meanwhile the accordion player changes the rhythm
So the people can know what's best
Here within my Brazil
Come on, come quickly to see the band at the fair
Pulling everyone who is just hanging around
Come on, come quickly to see the band at the fair
Pulling everyone for baião and capoeira
