Full lyrics
São João nas Capitá
Não me diga que é São João
É calça remendada
No joelho e no fundão
São João nas capitá
Só se dança iê-iê-iê
Vamos lá mangar
Vamos lá mangar
Iê,iê,iê, Iê, iê, iê, Iê, iê, iê
Brincar São João
Lá na roça é que é bom
Porque o samba tem
Forom, forom, forom
Translation
São João in Capitá
Don't tell me it's São João
It's patched pants
On the knee and on the bottom
São João in Capitá
Only iê-iê-iê is danced
Let's go mock
Let's go mock
Iê,iê,iê, Iê, iê, iê, Iê, iê, iê
To celebrate São João
There in the countryside is where it's good
Because the samba has
Forom, forom, forom
