Respeita Januário
Luiz Gonzaga
Respect January
When I went back to the backlands and wanted to make fun of Januário
On my silver accordion, with only one hundred and twenty bass buttons
Black button close together, like paired black people
But before showing off and passing through Granito
They quickly told me:
From Taboca to Rancharia, from Salgueiro to Bodocó
Januário is the greatest, he is the greatest.
And that's when old Jacó spoke to me, somewhat angry
Luiz, respect Januário, Luiz, respect Januário
Luiz... you may be famous but your father is more cunning
And with him, no one will go, Luiz
Luiz, respect your father's eight bass buttons.
