Full lyrics
Aonde é que tem trinta dias de forró
Em senhor do Bonfim a pisada é uma só
É forró lá no coreto, no meio da rua
Na barraca, no clube e todo mundo na sua
As quadrilhas girando, rodando e cantando
E o povo cantando, viva a são joão
São trinta dias de festa e alegria
E até parece uma santa missão
Translation
Where is there thirty days of forró?
In Senhor do Bonfim, the step is only one.
It's forró there in the bandstand, in the middle of the street
In the tent, in the club, and everyone in their own space.
The quadrilhas spinning, turning, and singing
And the people singing, long live Saint John!
There are thirty days of celebration and joy
And it even seems like a holy mission.
Where is there thirty days of forró?
In Senhor do Bonfim, the step is only one.
