Full lyrics

É 140 senta e sai e vamo embora

E pra honrar meu nome é 140 por hora (2x)


Dirigio 20 hora de 24 hora

4 horas é o descanço e descanço tá na hora

Descançando 4 hora tá na hora de ir embora


Sou pombo correio quando rodo sem parar

Só que o pombo leva carta de alguem a esperar

Sou mensageiro do baião vim aqui pra baionar


Vocês estão me olhando meus olhos sempre brilhando

Nessa grande multidão sou amigo de vocês

Vocês são a esperança que eu levo no coração


Nos acordes da sanfona quando começo a cantar

Sempre tem alguem por perto compassado a esperar

mas show está na hora terminando eu vou-me embora

Translation

It's 140, sit and leave, let's go

And to honor my name, it's 140 per hour (2x)


I drive 20 hours out of 24 hours

4 hours is the rest and rest is due

Resting 4 hours, it's time to leave


I'm a carrier pigeon when I drive non-stop

Except the pigeon carries a letter for someone to wait for

I'm a baião messenger, I came here to baião


You are looking at me, my eyes always shining

In this large crowd, I am your friend

You are the hope that I carry in my heart


In the accordion chords when I start to sing

There's always someone nearby, timed to wait

But the show is about to end, I'm leaving
