Full lyrics

Aquela sanfona branca

Aquele chapéu de couro...

Como é bonito Benito

Quem é poeta e que ver

Como é bonito Benito

Poetas como você

A minha sanfona branca

Cor da paz do sonhador

Sonha que é teu piano

Tocando coisas de amor

O meu sol nasce mais cedo

Não tem hora pra largar

Racha pedra, queima a pele

Dá mais força no cantar

Como é bonito Benito( bis)


A minha voz de Nordeste

Vai ser som universal

Quando nós cantarmos juntos

Meu baião na capital

Bato palmas, trago flores

De Januário, a benção

E no meu chapéu de couro

Nada mais que gratidão

Como é bonito Benito ( bis)

Translation

That white sanfona

That chapéu de couro...

How beautiful Benito is

Whoever is a poet and wants to see

How beautiful Benito is

Poets like you

My white sanfona

Color of the dreamer's peace

Dreams it's your piano

Playing things of love

My sun rises earlier

Has no time to leave

Cracks stone, burns the skin

Gives more strength to the singing

How beautiful Benito is (bis)


My voice from Nordeste

Will be a universal sound

When we sing together

My baião in the capital

I clap my hands, I bring flowers

From Januário, the blessing

And in my chapéu de couro

Nothing more than gratitude

How beautiful Benito is (bis)
