São João Do Nordeste
Jó Silva
Saint John of the Northeast
In my Pernambuco it's beautiful to see
In the June parties, the biggest tradition
Canjica and pamonha on the table
The girls showing their beauty
In the middle of the avenue, a big palhoção
People around the bonfire
Spend the whole night releasing balloons
And early the forró already begins
The single girl is in a hurry
To join the revelry in the middle of the hall
That's how it is
Saint John of the Northeast is thrilling
There's coco samba in the yard
On every corner there's an accordion player
Playing forró for us to dance
From afar you can hear the rumble
And the beat of the zabumba marking the baião
No one can resist this fun
People in the samba raise dust
Everyone cheers for our Saint John
