Full lyrics

É hoje, é hoje,

É hoje que a palha vai voar


É hoje que vai ter forró de fole

Tem mulher que não é mole

No tei tei do arraiá


A mulherada chega sempre animada

Junto com a rapaziada pra festejar São João

E desse jeito com tanta moça bonita

O tei tei como é que fica

Ninguém quer parar mais não

Translation

It's today, it's today,

It's today that the straw will fly


It's today that there will be forró with accordion

There are women who are not soft

In the tei tei of the arraiá


The women always arrive animated

Together with the young men to celebrate São João

And this way with so many beautiful girls

How does the tei tei become

No one wants to stop anymore
