Full lyrics
Vamo, vamo Joana
Vamo na carreira
Vamo pra fogueira
Festejá meu São João
Vamo, vamo Joana
Findou-se o inferno
Houve bom inverno
Há fartura no sertão ai...
Joana traz pamonha, milho assado
Vou matá de bucho inchado
Quem num crê no meu sertão
Traz a riúna que vou lascá o cano
Pela safra desse ano
Em louvor a São João } bis
Translation
Let's go, let's go Joana
Let's go in a hurry
Let's go to the bonfire
To celebrate my São João
Let's go, let's go Joana
The hell is over
There was a good winter
There is abundance in the sertão oh...
Joana brings pamonha, roasted corn
I'm going to eat until my belly is full
Whoever doesn't believe in my sertão
Bring the riúna, I'm going to fire the gun
For this year's harvest
In praise of São João } bis
