Full lyrics
Chora sanfoninha chora chora
Chora sanfoninha a minha dor
Minha sanfoninha amiga certa
Que chorando tu desperta
O coração do meu amor
E ela me vendo, tá fingindo que não tá
Tá me querendo, tá fingindo que não tá
Coração batendo, tá fingindo que não tá
Tá batendo, tá morrendo, mas não quer se declarar
Translation
Cry, little accordion, cry, cry
Cry, little accordion, my pain
My little accordion, a true friend
That by crying you awaken
The heart of my love
And she seeing me, is pretending she isn't
She wants me, is pretending she isn't
Heart beating, is pretending it isn't
It's beating, it's dying, but doesn't want to confess
