Full lyrics
Cadê a Sanfona Branca
Chapéu de couro e gibão
Cadê tu Luiz?
Vem cantar o Matulão
No teu Sertão
Quase não se vê
O cantar da Asa Branca
E o Guê do ABC
(2x)
Os Olhinhos do Menino marejou,
Mas com tua despedida
Até Rosinha chorou
Ao som da Sanfona Sentida
Já na Sala de Reboco, a Carolina
Não tem mais os braços teus
Todo mundo lamentou
Sua Hora do Adeus
Translation
Where is the Sanfona Branca
Leather hat and gibão
Where are you Luiz?
Come sing the Matulão
In your Sertão
One hardly sees
The singing of the Asa Branca
And the Guê of the ABC
(2x)
The Boy's little eyes welled up,
But with your farewell
Even Rosinha cried
To the sound of the Sanfona Sentida
Already in the Sala de Reboco, Carolina
No longer has your arms
Everyone lamented
Your Hour of Farewell
