Full lyrics
Quando o mês de junho chegar
Eu vou, eu vou me espalhar
Eu vou brincar de roda
Eu vou forroriar
Pra festejar São João
Só, só no arraia
Tem milho no asseiro
Pode quebrar
E tem moça donzela
Doidinha pra se arrumar
E tem geni papu
E tem canji ca ca
Já tem um sanfoneiro
Pra tocar pra nós dançar
Translation
When the month of June arrives
I'm going, I'm going to spread out
I'm going to play ring games
I'm going to forroriar
To celebrate São João
Only, only at the arraial
There's corn on the roasting pit
You can break it
And there's a young lady
Crazy to get ready
And there's geni papu
And there's canji ca ca
There's already a sanfoneiro
To play for us to dance
