Full lyrics
Vamos pra lá, vamos dançar na palhoça
Contratar um sanfoneiro e ninguém vai sobrar
Mandaram chamar um sanfoneiro do bom
Que toca em qualquer tom e faz o fole falar
Ele toca a noite inteira até o sol raiar
E pra começar ele toma um repião
E bota o pé num caixão e começa a tocar
Quando ele puxa no fole não quer mais parar
Translation
Let's go there, let's dance in the straw hut
Hire an accordion player and no one will be left out
They sent for a good accordion player
Who plays in any key and makes the bellows speak
He plays all night until the sun rises
And to start he takes a shot of sugarcane liquor
And puts his foot on a box and starts to play
When he pulls on the bellows he doesn't want to stop anymore
