São João, esta é a festa

I already bought a flowery shirt
A patched pants and a Gonzagão record
I've already separated a piglet from the pigsty
A lot of chicken in the henhouse
And asked for a day off from the boss
I've already separated a piglet from the pigsty
A lot of chicken in the henhouse
And asked for a day off from the boss

This year like every year I do
I'll make a trail with a machete
I'll enjoy my São João
If you like forró, come over to my place
Certainly São João that doesn't delay
Will already be setting the hall on fire
If you like forró, come over to my place
Certainly São João that doesn't delay
Will already be setting the hall on fire

São João my São João how much joy
Who is a reveler like me gets going
Gets into the forró rhythm and doesn't tire
June month São João this is the party
São João my São João how much joy
Who is a reveler like me gets going
Gets into the forró rhythm and doesn't tire
June month São João this is the party

(repeat the lyrics)
