Full lyrics

Eu plantei meu milho todo no dia de São José

Me ajuda a providência, Vamos ter milho à grané

Vou coiê pelos meus caico (cálculo)

20 espiga em cada pé


Pelos caico (cálculo) eu vou coiê (colher) 20

Espiga em cada pé

Ai São João, São João do Carneirinho

Você é tão bonzinho


Fale com São José, fale lá com São José

Peça Pra ele me ajudar

Peça pra meu milho dá

20 espiga em cada pé

Translation

I planted all my corn on São José's day

Providence help me, We will have corn in abundance

I will harvest by my calculations

20 ears on each stalk


By my calculations I will harvest 20

Ears on each stalk

Oh São João, São João do Carneirinho

You are so kind


Speak with São José, speak there with São José

Ask him to help me

Ask for my corn to yield

20 ears on each stalk
