Full lyrics
O floriado da sanfona de mané
Não sai do coró-co-tum
Coró-co-tum, cunhé cunhé
Onde tem baile de sanfona tá mané
Sempre no coró-co-tum
Coró-co-tum, cunhé cunhé
Disseram a ele que aquilo era acordeon
Mané quase que se morde
Saiu dando ponta pé
Com oito baixos e não sei quantos teclados
Só se ouve o floriado da sanfona de mané
Coró-co-tum, coró-co-tum, cunhé cunhé
A mão nos oito baixos e o xaxado tá no pé
Coró-co-tum, coró-co-tum, cunhé cunhé
E agora vamos ouvir os oito baixos de mané
O floriado da sanfona de mané
Não sai do coró-co-tum
Coró-co-tum, cunhé cunhé
Onde tem baile de sanfona tá mané
Sempre no coró-co-tum
Coró-co-tum, cunhé cunhé
Foi num concurso feito na rádio patrulha
Quando ele entrou na agulha
Os outros perdeu a fé
Tá contratado e só vive programado
Ninguém perde o floriado da sanfona de mané
Coró-co-tum, coró-co-tum, cunhé cunhé
A mão nos oito baixos e o xaxado tá no pé
Coró-co-tum, coró-co-tum, cunhé cunhé
E agora vamos ouvir os oito baixos de mané
Translation
The flourish of Mané's accordion
Doesn't leave the coró-co-tum
Coró-co-tum, cunhé cunhé
Where there's an accordion dance, there's Mané
Always in the coró-co-tum
Coró-co-tum, cunhé cunhé
They told him that it was an accordion
Mané almost bit himself
He went out kicking
With eight basses and I don't know how many keys
You only hear the flourish of Mané's accordion
Coró-co-tum, coró-co-tum, cunhé cunhé
His hand on the eight basses and the xaxado is on his foot
Coró-co-tum, coró-co-tum, cunhé cunhé
And now let's hear Mané's eight basses
The flourish of Mané's accordion
Doesn't leave the coró-co-tum
Coró-co-tum, cunhé cunhé
Where there's an accordion dance, there's Mané
Always in the coró-co-tum
Coró-co-tum, cunhé cunhé
It was in a contest held on the radio patrol
When he entered the needle
The others lost faith
He's hired and only lives programmed
No one misses the flourish of Mané's accordion
Coró-co-tum, coró-co-tum, cunhé cunhé
His hand on the eight basses and the xaxado is on his foot
Coró-co-tum, coró-co-tum, cunhé cunhé
And now let's hear Mané's eight basses
