Full lyrics
Obrigado seu rei
Pela sanfona branquinha
A sanfona era do povo
Mais agora ele é minha
Essa sanfona
Que alegrou tanta gente
Eu ganhei de presente
De Luiz rei do baião
quem olha nela
Vê o seu nome gravado
E vai ser sempre lembrado
Na cidade ou no sertão
Obrigado seu rei...
Fiquei feliz
Por ganhar essa sanfona
A final foi o seu dono
Quem ainda cantou o baião
E dona Helena
O nosso trio batizou
E deus nos abençoou
Eu falo de coração
Translation
Thank you, your king
For the little white accordion
The accordion belonged to the people
But now it's mine
This accordion
That brought joy to so many people
I received it as a gift
From Luiz, king of baião
Whoever looks at it
Sees his name engraved
And he will always be remembered
In the city or in the backlands
Thank you, your king...
I was happy
To win this accordion
After all, it was its owner
Who still sang the baião
And Dona Helena
Baptized our trio
And God blessed us
I speak from the heart
