Full lyrics
Vamos pra roça, menina
Vamos pular a fogueira
Vamos cair na folia
Dançar quadrilha e rancheira
(coro repete)
Maria fez promessa pro meu Santo Antônio
E ele ajudou no seu matrimônio
E essa promessa ela não pagou
Só lembrou do Santo quando enviuvou
(E essa promessa ela não pagou
Só lembrou do Santo quando enviuvou)
Translation
Let's go to the countryside, girl
Let's jump over the bonfire
Let's join the revelry
Dance quadrille and rancheira
Let's go to the countryside, girl
Let's jump over the bonfire
Let's join the revelry
Dance quadrille and rancheira
Maria made a promise to my Saint Anthony
And he helped with her marriage
And she didn't fulfill that promise
She only remembered the Saint when she became a widow
And she didn't fulfill that promise
She only remembered the Saint when she became a widow
