Full lyrics

Quando ele puxa o fole

Todo mundo quer dançar

Dança velho e dança moço

E vai até o sol raiar


Em Santa Cruz e Capibaribe

No Ipiranga o forró é arrojado

Vem gente de todo lado

É aquela animação

Todos dançam a noite inteira

Em homenagem a São João

Translation

When he pulls the bellows

Everyone wants to dance

Old man dances and young man dances

And it goes on until the sun rises


In Santa Cruz and Capibaribe

In Ipiranga, the forró is bold

People come from all sides

It's that excitement

Everyone dances all night long

In homage to Saint John
