Bailão
Kleiton & Kledir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dá-le xote e vanerão
Tchê que festa, que bailão
Abre a gaita, seu Adão
Limpa os banco do salão

Mal tocou a primeira
Tava a tropa inteira
Arrastando as bota no chão

E até uma freira
No seu chá de pera
Batucava a mesa com a mão

Dei de mão na China
Flor de coisa fina
E me fui rodar no salão

Num bugio largado
E eu mais enredado
Do que cusco em procissão

Dá-le xote...

E lá pelas tantas
Eu a meia guampa
Esbarrei no tal Alemão

Cheio de fricotes
E de não me toques
Me tirou satisfação

Me olhou de cima
E eu não sou vitrina
Dei-lhe um tapa e o taura tremeu

E falei pra China
Vê se eu tô na esquina
Que o negócio agora fedeu

Dá-le xote...

E o bagual de troco
Saiu feito louco
Dando tiro sem direção

A turma do atiço
E a do deixa disso
Se atracaram a ferro e facão

E no burburinho
Saí de fininho
Pelo que sobrou do portão

Agarrei a China




Que tava na esquinha
Me mandei pra outro bailão.

Overall Meaning

"Bailão" is a fun and upbeat song by Kleiton & Kledir that depicts the lively atmosphere and energy of a countryside dance party. The lyrics convey the excitement and joy of the people who have gathered to dance and enjoy the live music played by Adão, the accordionist. The song opens with the call for "xote" and "vanerão," which are two popular rhythm styles from the southern region of Brazil. Adão then starts playing the accordion, and everyone in the room gets ready to dance. The song talks about how people from all walks of life, including a nun, come to join in the fun.


As the party gets going, the atmosphere becomes even more lively, and people start dancing with anyone they can find. The singer enjoys a dance with a woman named China, who he considers a "flower of a fine thing." He then encounters an arrogant man called Alemão, who tries to start a fight. The singer defends himself and later leaves the party with China. However, as he goes, he witnesses a violent showdown between two groups of people, which he avoids.


"Bailão" is a song that celebrates traditional Brazilian culture and music, as well as the joys of dancing and socializing with friends and strangers alike.

Tchê que festa, que bailão
Wow, what a party and dancehall


Abre a gaita, seu Adão
Play the accordion, Adão


Limpa os banco do salão
Clean the benches of the dancehall


Mal tocou a primeira
As soon as it started playing


Tava a tropa inteira
Everyone was already on the dance floor


Arrastando as bota no chão
Dragging their boots on the floor


E até uma freira
Even a nun


No seu chá de pera
At her tea party


Batucava a mesa com a mão
Was tapping her hands on the table


Dei de mão na China
I grabbed the girl named China


Flor de coisa fina
What a fine thing


E me fui rodar no salão
And we went to dance in the dancehall


Num bugio largado
In a wild dance


E eu mais enredado
And I was more entangled


Do que cusco em procissão
Than a dog in a procession


E lá pelas tantas
And later on


Eu a meia guampa
I with my half-empty glass


Esbarrei no tal Alemão
I bumped into a guy called Alemão


Cheio de fricotes
Full of affectations


E de não me toques
And didn't want to be touched


Me tirou satisfação
He confronted me


Me olhou de cima
He looked at me from above


E eu não sou vitrina
But I'm not a display case


Dei-lhe um tapa e o taura tremeu
I slapped him and he was shaken


E falei pra China
And I said to China


Vê se eu tô na esquina
See if I'm at the corner


Que o negócio agora fedeu
Because things just got ugly


E o bagual de troco
And the wild guy with the coin purse


Saiu feito louco
Went out like a madman


Dando tiro sem direção
Shooting aimlessly


A turma do atiço
The agitated group


E a do deixa disso
And the 'let it go' group


Se atracaram a ferro e facão
Started fighting with swords and knives


E no burburinho
Amidst the commotion


Saí de fininho
I snuck out


Pelo que sobrou do portão
Through what was left of the gate


Agarrei a China
I grabbed China


Que tava na esquinha
Who was at the corner


Me mandei pra outro bailão
And we went to another dancehall
