Full lyrics

O meu cabelo já começa prateando

Mas a sanfona ainda não desafinou

A minha voz, cê repare eu cantando

é a mesma voz de quando

Meu reinado começou


Modéstia à parte, mas que eu não desafine

Desde os tempos de menino

Em exu, no meu sertão


Cantava solto feito cigarra vadia

É por isso que hoje em dia

Ainda sou o rei do baião


Eu agradeço todo o povo brasileiro

Norte, centro, sul inteiro

Onde reinou o baião


Se eu mereci minha coroa de rei

Essa sempre eu honrei

Foi a minha obrigação


Minha sanfona, minha voz e meu baião

Este meu chapéu de couro

E também o meu gibão


Vou pegar tudo

Dar de presente ao museu

é hora do Adeus

De Luiz, rei do baião

Translation

My hair is already starting to silver

But the accordion hasn't gone out of tune yet

My voice, notice it as I sing

It's the same voice from when

My reign began


Modesty aside, may I not go out of tune

Since I was a boy

In Exu, in my backlands


I sang freely like a wandering cicada

That's why nowadays

I'm still the king of baião


I thank all the Brazilian people

North, center, the entire south

Where the baião reigned


If I deserved my crown as king

I always honored it

It was my duty


My accordion, my voice and my baião

This leather hat of mine

And also my leather jacket


I'm going to take everything

Give it as a gift to the museum

It's time for Farewell

From Luiz, king of baião
