Zé Davi, a drunkard, one of those barstool typesZé Davi um cachaceiro, desses de pé de balcão
Decided to be an accordion playerResolveu ser sanfoneiro
In our neck of the woodsLá na nossa região
Chico Vida's band got famous in the backcountryConjunto Chico Vida, pegou fama no sertão
Wherever he played, so bad was his soundNo lugar que ele passava, de tão ruim que ele tocava
It became a jokeServia de mangação

The old leaky accordion made a fonrom fon fonO fole velho furado, fazia fonrom fon fon
A rusty triangle, and the tambourine had no soundUm triângulo enferrujado, e o pandeiro sem ter som
The crowd was stomping, but no one heard the beatO povo sapateando, mas ninguém ouvia o tom
The dust was rising, and the drunks were shoutingA poeira levantando, e os cabras bêbo gritando
Saying, what a great bandDizendo ô conjunto bom

He played with his eyes closed, but the music wouldn’t comeTocava de olho fechado, mas a música não saia
The triangle was just a wire, and the hit didn’t ringO triângulo era um arame, e a pancada não tinia
The zabumba had no rhythm, no one could hear the beatO zabumba sem compasso, o ritmo ninguém ouvia
'Cause the skin was torn, and the crowd was stuckPois o couro era rasgado, e o povo agarrado
Not knowing where to goSem saber pra donde ia
