Full lyrics
Sanfoneiro Cadê a quela sanfona
De som macio a moda de seu Luiz
Na quele jeito que a cobla se arrepia
E fica doida vadia forrozando toda feliz (Bis)
O povo de Luiz sente saudade
E o desejo de ver nosso rei tocar
E decantar historias de nosso sertão
Da Paraíba ao Maranhão e
Da Bahia ao Ceará
Luiz Luiz teu forró tá de cima
Dentro e fora do País
Luiz Luiz Ao som da concertina
Nosso povo é feliz. (Bis)
Translation
Accordionist, where is that sanfona
With a soft sound, in the style of seu Luiz
In that way that the couple gets goosebumps
And goes crazy, wild, dancing forró all happy (Bis)
Luiz's people feel saudade
And the desire to see our king play
And sing stories of our sertão
From Paraíba to Maranhão and
From Bahia to Ceará
Luiz Luiz your forró is thriving
Inside and outside the Country
Luiz Luiz To the sound of the concertina
Our people are happy. (Bis)
