Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Abre o fole sanfoneiro, faz esse bailão ferver

Accordion player, open up the bellows, make this dance floor boil

Que o velhinho tá querendo fazer o capim tremer

'Cause the old man wants to make the grass shake

Ele é o mestre pé de valsa que ensina sem cobrar nada

He's the waltz master who teaches without asking for anything

Com seu jeito carinhoso da aula pra mulherada

With his affectionate manner, he gives lessons to the ladies


O velhinho dançador

The dancing old man

Leva a vida rindo atoa

Lives life laughing freely

Faz sucesso com as novinhas

He's a hit with the young ones

É o xodó das coroas

He's the darling of the older ladies


O velhinho dançador

The dancing old man

Disposição sempre tem

Always full of energy

Com seu astral elevado

With his high spirits

Passa tranquilo do cem

He easily surpasses a hundred


O estilo pouco importa, entende tudo da dança

The style doesn't matter much, he understands everything about dance

O velhinho é bem danado, paquerador da festança

The old man is quite a rascal, a flirt at the party

Tem gingado de menino, onde vai deixa saudade

He has the swag of a young boy, wherever he goes, he leaves nostalgia

Com o sorriso no rosto, transmite a felicidade

With a smile on his face, he conveys happiness
