Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Te abre cordeona machaça, me deixa ver teu miolo

Open up, strong accordion, let me see your insides

Cantar as glorias da raça no teu compasso crioulo

Sing the glories of our race in your Creole rhythm

Deixa que a China rebole e vai contando pra gente

Let China wiggle and tell us

Os causos de antigamente que guardas dentro do fole

The tales from the past that you keep inside your bellows


Um dia gaita crinuda ainda te parto em pedaços

One day, oh wild accordion, I'll still break you into pieces

E planto de muda em muda um mandiocal de gaitaços

And I'll plant, from seed to seed, a mandioca field of accordions


Já pedi a Deus e ao demônio que me livre de balaço

I've asked God and the devil to spare me from a gunshot

Quero morrer de um gaitaço num baile de Santo Antonio

I want to die from an accordion blow at a Saint Anthony's dance

Não tem trampa, nem mundéu, a morte é porca rabona

There's no trickery, no deception, death is a dirty end

Quem morre ouvindo cordeona vai pros bochinchos do céu

Who dies listening to the accordion goes to the heavenly gatherings
