Full lyrics

Fui a uma festa lá no Rio de Janeiro

Eu vi um sanfoneiro e canto de rojão


O rei do baião cantava e tocava

Zé Gonzaga gritava viva a meu irmão

Com muita atenção Ary lobo cantava

E Marines ali xaxava com disposição

O dono do rojão Jackson do Pandeiro

E Almira gritou primeiro cuidado meu irmão


Fui a uma festa lá no Rio de Janeiro

Eu vi um sanfoneiro e canto de rojão


No meio do salão já vi todo mundo

Jorge Paulo e Zé Raimundo tomando quentão

O Zé do Baião, Venâncio e Corumba

A cachaça dançava rumba lá do meu sertão


Fui a uma festa lá no Rio de Janeiro

Eu vi um sanfoneiro e canto de rojão


Chegando Camarão com seu oito baixos

Eu vi muito cabra macho de fole na mão

Evaristo tem razão ele e Abdias

Vamos amanhecer o dia sem alteração


Fui a uma festa lá no Rio de Janeiro

Eu vi um sanfoneiro e canto de rojão

Translation

I went to a party in Rio de Janeiro

I saw an accordion player and the singing of rojão


The king of baião sang and played

Zé Gonzaga shouted long live my brother

With great attention Ary Lobo sang

And Marines there xaxava with disposition

The owner of the rojão Jackson do Pandeiro

And Almira shouted first careful my brother


I went to a party in Rio de Janeiro

I saw an accordion player and the singing of rojão


In the middle of the hall I saw everyone

Jorge Paulo and Zé Raimundo drinking mulled wine

Zé do Baião, Venâncio and Corumba

The cachaça danced rumba from my backlands


I went to a party in Rio de Janeiro

I saw an accordion player and the singing of rojão


Arriving Camarão with his eight basses

I saw many tough guys with bellows in hand

Evaristo is right he and Abdias

We will dawn the day without alteration


I went to a party in Rio de Janeiro

I saw an accordion player and the singing of rojão
