Full lyrics
Quando o Tenente Bezerra
Entrou em Angico e matou Lampião
Eu tava no bando, seu moço
Eu era criança e prestei atenção
Mas eu nasci muito pobre
Não sei quem foi meu pai, não o conheço, irmão
Mas fui criado com ele seu moço
Até que acabara a função
Hoje eu nem sei atirar
Nem me interessa isso não
Mas aprendi a xaxar
E me formei num baião
Baião, ô ôôô Baião
Baião, ô ôôô Baião
Pegue a sanfona que eu quero xaxar
Bate, bate zabumba que eu vou me espalhar
Toque a sanfona que eu quero xaxar
Bate, bate zabumba que eu vou me espalhar
Translation
When Lieutenant Bezerra
Entered Angico and killed Lampião
I was in the gang, mister
I was a child and paid attention
But I was born very poor
I don't know who my father was, I don't know him, brother
But I was raised with him, mister
Until the function was over
Today I don't even know how to shoot
I'm not interested in that
But I learned to xaxar
And I graduated in a baião
Baião, ô ôôô Baião
Baião, ô ôôô Baião
Grab the accordion because I want to xaxar
Hit, hit the zabumba because I'm going to spread out
Play the accordion because I want to xaxar
Hit, hit the zabumba because I'm going to spread out
