Full lyrics
Cadê a lenha da fogueira Siá Filiça
Cadê o milho pra assar
Cadê aquele teu vestidinho de chita
Que tu vestia pra dançar
Cadê aquele sanfoneiro
Que eu pedia pra tocar
A canção da minha terra
Um forró de pé-de-serra
Que eu ajudava a cantar
Quando eu me lembro disso tudo Siá Filiça
Me dá vontade de chorar
Cadê aquele balãozinho Siá Filiça
Que coloria o meu lugar
Minha esperança ainda dorme Siá Filiça
E eu com pena de acordar
Quebrar panela no terreiro
E as fogueira pra pular
Uma quadrilha bem marcada
Um belo São João de latada
Que era bom pra namorar
Quando eu me lembro disso tudo Siá Filiça
Me dá vontade de chorar
Translation
Where is the firewood for the bonfire Siá Filiça
Where is the corn to roast
Where is that little chita dress of yours
That you used to wear to dance
Where is that sanfoneiro
That I asked to play
The song of my land
A pé-de-serra forró
That I helped to sing
When I remember all of that Siá Filiça
It makes me want to cry
Where is that little sky lantern Siá Filiça
That colored my place
My hope still sleeps Siá Filiça
And I'm afraid to wake it up
Breaking pots in the terreiro
And the bonfires to jump over
A well-marked quadrilha
A beautiful São João with a latada
That was good for dating
When I remember all of that Siá Filiça
It makes me want to cry
