Full lyrics
No mês de junho com dinheiro ou sem dinheiro
Lá no meio do terreiro vou fazer um fogueirão
Chamar Vaninha, Mariquinha e a Rosinha
Pra gente soltar bombinha na subida do balão
Vou convidar o pessoal da redondeza
Pra sentar na minha mesa e dar viva a São João
Com Abdias tocando seu oito baixos
Junto com dois cabras machos cantador do meu sertão
No balanço do pandeiro, no batuque do zabumba
Tem mulher que molha a blusa lá no meio do salão
É quentão pra aqui, é quentão pra lá
Tem cachaça boa pra se tomar
Tem mulher bonita pra se namorar
E a gente brinca até o sol raiar
Translation
In the month of June with money or without money
There in the middle of the yard I'm going to make a big bonfire
Call Vaninha, Mariquinha and Rosinha
For us to set off firecrackers on the ascent of the balão
I'm going to invite the people from the neighborhood
To sit at my table and cheer São João
With Abdias playing his eight-bass accordion
Along with two tough men, singers from my sertão
To the sway of the pandeiro, to the beat of the zabumba
There are women who soak their blouses there in the middle of the hall
There's quentão here, there's quentão there
There's good cachaça to drink
There are beautiful women to flirt with
And we have fun until the sun rises
