Full lyrics

Vinte anos de carreira, vamos comemorar

Palmas pra música nordestina, palma, palma

Palmas para aqueles que chegam

Palmas para aqueles que vêm

Palmas para agente que canta

E palmas pra vocês também


Olhe o bolo, corte o bolo

Que esse bolo a gente fez

Com triângulo, sanfona e zabumba

E alegria pra vocês


Quem canta, a tristeza espanta

Diz um dito popular

Por isso a gente só vive cantando, para alegrar

Música com alegria

A gente só vê no baião

Vinte anos se completam nessa comemoração

Translation

Twenty years of career, let's celebrate

Applause for northeastern music, clap, clap

Applause for those who arrive

Applause for those who come

Applause for the people who sing

And applause for you too


Look at the cake, cut the cake

That this cake we made

With triangle, accordion and zabumba

And joy for you


Who sings, scares away sadness

A popular saying says

That's why we only live singing, to cheer up

Music with joy

You only see in the baião

Twenty years are completed in this celebration
