Full lyrics
Pra onde tu vai Baião?
Eu vou sair por aí
Tu vais por que, Baião?
Ninguém me quer mais aqui } bis
Sou o dono de cavalo
De garupa, munto não
Eu vou pro meu pé-de-serra
Levando meu matulão
Lá no forró, sou o tal
E sou o Rei do Sertão
Nos clubes e nas boites
Não me deixam mais entrar
É só triste e bolero
Rock e tchá tchá tchá
Se eu tou sabendo disso
É mió me arretirá
Eu não sou como esses homem
Casado com muié bela
Que larga e mora de fronte
Manda a despesa dela
E toda madrugadinha
Ver ladrão pular janela
Translation
Where are you going Baião?
I'm going out there
Why are you going, Baião?
Nobody wants me here anymore } bis
I own a horse
Not much of a pillion
I'm going to my pé-de-serra
Taking my knapsack
There at the forró, I'm the one
And I'm the King of the Sertão
In the clubs and nightclubs
They don't let me in anymore
It's just sad and bolero
Rock and tchá tchá tchá
If I know about this
It's better for me to withdraw
I'm not like these men
Married to a beautiful woman
Who leaves and lives across the street
Sends her expenses
And every early morning
Sees a thief jump the window
