Full lyrics
Quando chegou pra cidade o menino
Já tinha um nome, que era Baião
Porém agora, ficou tão granfino
Nem liga pro sertão
Ai, ai, Baião, você venceu!
Mas no sertão, ninguém lhe esqueceu
Ai, ai, Baião, siga seu destino!
Você já cresceu, já nos esqueceu
Ficou tão granfino
Translation
When the boy arrived in the city
He already had a name, which was Baião
But now, he's become so fancy
He doesn't even care about the backlands
Oh, oh, Baião, you've won!
But in the backlands, no one has forgotten you
Oh, oh, Baião, follow your destiny!
You've already grown up, you've already forgotten us
You've become so fancy
