Full lyrics

O meu cabelo já começa prateando

Mas a sanfona ainda não desafinou

A minha voz vocês reparem eu cantando

Que é a mesma voz de quando meu reinado começou


Modéstia à parte, mas se eu não desafino

Desde o tempo de menino

Em Exu, no meu sertão

Cantava solto que nem cigarra vadia

E é por isso que hoje em dia

Ainda sou o rei do baião


Eu agradeço, ao povo brasileiro

Norte, Centro, Sul inteiro

Onde reinou o baião

Se eu mereci minha coroa de rei

Esta sempre eu honrei

Foi a minha obrigação


Minha sanfona minha voz o meu baião

Este meu chapéu de couro e também o meu gibão

Vou juntar tudo, dar de presente ao museu

É a hora do adeus

De Luiz rei do baião

Translation

My hair is already starting to turn silver

But the accordion still hasn't gone out of tune

My voice, you'll notice when I sing

That it's the same voice as when my reign began


Modesty aside, but if I don't go out of tune

Since I was a boy

In Exu, in my sertão

I sang freely like a wandering cicada

And that's why nowadays

I am still the king of baião


I thank the Brazilian people

North, Center, the entire South

Where baião reigned

If I deserved my king's crown

I always honored it

It was my obligation


My accordion, my voice, my baião

This leather hat of mine and also my gibão

I will gather everything, give it as a gift to the museum

It is time for goodbye

From Luiz, king of baião
