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 hardship has ended
There was a good winter
There is abundance in the sertão, oh...
Joana brings pamonha, roasted corn
I'm going to kill myself with a swollen belly
Whoever doesn't believe in my sertão
Bring the riúna that I'm going to shoot the barrel
For this year's harvest
In praise of São João } bis
