Full lyrics
Onde Tá meu grande irmão
Onde e que tá
Quanto tempo, que saudade
Que você me dá
Quanta falta está fazendo, irmão
Ao nosso baião
Tudo que você criou
Que você deixou
Inda pedem pra eu cantar
Pros cantos que eu vou
Asa Branca, Assum Preto, irmão
Doutor do Baião
Vivo curtindo o acre do jiló
Tão doce prá nós dois
E amargo pra mim só
Ai que saudade
Poeta do Iguatu
Ai quanta tristeza ( bis)
Fazer baião sem tu
Translation
Where is my big brother
Where is he
How long, what saudade
That you give me
How much you are missed, brother
For our baião
Everything you created
That you left
They still ask me to sing
For the places I go
Asa Branca, Assum Preto, brother
Doctor of Baião
I live enjoying the acridness of jiló
So sweet for us two
And bitter for me alone
Oh what saudade
Poet of Iguatu
Oh how much sadness ( bis)
To make baião without you
