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 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 backlands

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, 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's time for goodbye

From Luiz, king of baião
