Full lyrics

Ai que saudade do velho

Ai que saudade ai ai

Que dói no fundo do peito

Ai que saudade meu pai


Você guiou os meus passos

Me fez um homem de bem

Me fez valente pra vida

Um cabra macho também

Um cantador de baião

No meio, lá no sertão

Um sanfoneiro que abraça

Seu povo com uma canção

Translation

Oh, what a deep longing for the old man

Oh, what a deep longing, oh oh

That hurts deep in my chest

Oh, what a deep longing, my father


You guided my steps

You made me a good man

You made me brave for life

A tough guy too

A baião singer

In the middle, there in the sertão

An accordion player who embraces

His people with a song
