Full lyrics

O coração da sanfona é o zabumba

Ele bate a sanfoninha geme

Como eu, minha perna chega treme

Quando o meu começa acelerar

E eu fico no meio da dança

Esperando o bem encontrar

Coração zabumbando no peito

Tô gemendo e querendo chorar


E quando vejo naquele resfulêgo

O soluço de uma melodia

O zabumba batendo que alegria

Muita gente não vai entender

E derradeira esperança morre

Contra o tempo não vale correr

A sanfona machuca meu peito

E o zabumba me ajuda a viver


A noite passa e o dia vem chegando

O suor, fumaça e a poeira

A sanfona tocando que canseira

O zabumba querendo parar

É o sangue na veia que corre

E eu corro querendo encontrar

E a sanfona gemendo no fole

É meu coração a zabumbar

Translation

The heart of the accordion is the zabumba

It beats, the little accordion moans

Like me, my leg even trembles

When mine starts to accelerate

And I stay in the middle of the dance

Hoping to find my love

Heart zabumba-ing in my chest

I'm moaning and wanting to cry


And when I see in that glow

The sob of a melody

The zabumba beating, what joy

Many people won't understand

And the last hope dies

Against time it's no use running

The accordion hurts my chest

And the zabumba helps me to live


The night passes and the day is coming

The sweat, smoke, and dust

The accordion playing, what weariness

The zabumba wanting to stop

It's the blood in the vein that runs

And I run wanting to find

And the accordion moaning in the bellows

It's my heart a-zabumba-ing
