Full lyrics
Viva Luiz
Eu faço a minha oração
Minha prece é o meu baião
Minha sanfona é sentida
Faço do palco a minha vida
Faço do canto oração
Aprendi, eu aprendi
Que a flor que nasce em torrão
Resiste a um furacão
Se entorta e aprende a viver
Por isso eu deito a madeira
Alinho as minburas
Construo a jangada
Boto ela no mar
Navego à bolina
Sou fiel ao vento
Vento divino o caminho dará
Translation
Long live Luiz
I make my prayer
My prayer is my baião
My accordion is heartfelt
I make the stage my life
I make singing a prayer
I learned, I learned
That the flower that grows in the soil
Resists a hurricane
It bends and learns to live
That's why I lay the wood
I align the planks
I build the raft
I put it in the sea
I sail close-hauled
I am faithful to the wind
Divine wind will show the way
