Full lyrics
Essa sanfona que eu trago em meu peito
Eu peço muito respeito quando eu tocar
Essa sanfona é minha querida
Faz parte da minha vida eu vou lhe falar
Essa sanfona já me deu o pão
Já me deu muita alegria, já me fez chorar
Sanfona velha minha companheira
Esta comigo aonde quer que eu vá
Quero cadenciar no toque da sanfona
No balançado desse teu cabelo
Que quando dança espalha no ar
Só pra me agradar eu sinto o teu cheiro
Translation
This accordion that I carry in my chest
I ask for much respect when I play it
This accordion is my beloved
It's part of my life, I'll tell you
This accordion has already given me bread
It has already given me much joy, it has already made me cry
Old accordion, my companion
It's with me wherever I go
I want to find rhythm in the sound of the accordion
In the sway of your hair
That when you dance spreads in the air
Just to please me, I smell your scent
