Full lyrics
A sanfona chora e ninguém vai embora
Cresce a animação
Mulatas e brancas
Sacudindo as ancas segura o rojão
Furam noite e dia numa gritaria
Que só gente louca e a sanfona braba
Já desafinada vai ficando rouca
Geme o fole geme, roncando nos baixos
Geme sem parar
A turma fogosa toda buliçosa
Se dana a pular
Levanta a poeira
Ferve a bebedeira
Todo mundo dança
Lá pela cozinha, pela camarinha
Vão enchendo a pança
Translation
The accordion cries and nobody leaves
The excitement grows
Mulatas and white women
Shaking their hips, keeping the pace
They party night and day with a shouting
That only crazy people and the wild accordion
Already out of tune, is getting hoarse
The bellows groan, groan, rumbling in the bass notes
Groans without stopping
The fiery crowd, all boisterous
Starts to jump
Raises the dust
The drinking boils
Everybody dances
There in the kitchen, in the small room
They are filling their bellies
