Full lyrics

Amigo baião o nosso rei viajou

Guarde sua sanfona, seu chapéu e seu gibão

Ele foi o verão, foi a chuva e foi o nome

Foi o homem com fome, foi a consolação


Foi ele amigo baião

Ele foi a estrada

Os degraus da escada

De tanto cantador

Ele foi o calor das morenas faceiras

Das noites brasileira na fogueira do amor


Ô lua, ô lua, ô lua

Das noites de são joão

Aqui vai um bilhetinho

Pra você no meu balão

Uma frase desejando

Um bom lugar pra seu luiz

Que viveu a vida amando

Decantando esse pais

Translation

Friend baião, our king traveled

Keep your sanfona, your hat and your gibão

He was the summer, he was the rain and he was the name

He was the hungry man, he was the consolation


It was him, friend baião

He was the road

The steps of the ladder

Of so many musicians

He was the warmth of the playful brunettes

Of Brazilian nights in the bonfire of love


Oh moon, oh moon, oh moon

Of the São João nights

Here goes a little note

For you in my sky lantern

A phrase wishing

A good place for seu Luiz

Who lived life loving

Singing about this country
