Cordel de Sanfona

I am
A bass drum, a triangle, and a tambourine
An accordion in the lap of the accordion player
That infects and doesn't have a time to stop

I am
I'm a cordel writer, a repentant and a violist
I'm colorful flags in the yard
Where joy makes sadness dance
I'm a square dancer, flip-flops, and straw hat
I'm ribbon stick, I'm of every color
I'm the beauty of the corn queen
I'm peace and love
I'm a Northeastern cowboy
Vitalino, Gonzagão
I'm the girl adorned in chintz, beautiful
I am São João

Circle dance and xaxado on the foot
Dragging feet, xote, and baião
I am a people, I am plural in one, I am forró
I am São João

I am
Typical food, mulled wine, and liqueur
The swaying that rocks the dancer
I'm the story of these people celebrating

I am
I'm the bass drum, the triangle, and the tambourine
An accordion in the lap of the accordion player
That infects and doesn't have a time to stop
I'm hillbilly wedding and greased pole
I'm pot breaking, I'm checkered
I'm streamer, the fireworks, and bonfires
Stamped smile
I'm authenticity
I'm root and tradition
I'm a woodcut engraving, culture
I am São João
Circle dance and xaxado on the foot
Dragging feet, xote, and baião
I am a people, I am plural in one, I am forró
I am São João
