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 let loose
I'm going to play ring-around-the-rosy
I'm going to forroriar
To celebrate São João
Only, only at the arraial
There's corn on the grill
You can go all out
And there are maiden girls
Eager to get ready
And there's genipapo
And there's canjica
There's already a sanfoneiro
To play for us to dance
