Full lyrics

Cuidado sanfoneiro, pise no chão direitinho

Pegue na sanfona e toque bem mastigadinho

Que aqui na região quando o sanfoneiro é mole

Ou agente fura o fole

Ou então canta esse corinho


Xouxinho, xouxinho, xouxinho

Canta gente que esse cara não ganha nem pro cominho


E mesmo todo tocador pra ser bom pra ser de tu

É aquele que se senta no banco de mulumbu

Toma cinco, toca dez, senta um cochila um

Mas ele ta de olho aberto com medo desse corinho

Translation

Be careful, sanfoneiro, step on the ground properly

Grab the sanfona and play it very clearly

Because here in the region when the sanfoneiro is weak

Either we puncture the fole

Or else we sing this little chorus


Xouxinho, xouxinho, xouxinho

Sing, people, that this guy doesn't even earn enough for cumin


And even every tocador, to be good, to be one of yours

Is the one who sits on the mulumbu bench

Takes five, plays ten, sits one, naps one

But he is with his eyes open, afraid of this little chorus
