Full lyrics
Hoje é o dia, do senhor São João
Tem tanta fogueira
Tem muito balão
Vai ter muita gente
Vai ter brincadeira
A comemoração de São João
É forró a noite inteira
Vai ter sim, mais mulher do que homem
Vai ter sim, o melhor forró
Vai ter sim, festa na ribeira
Convidei as moreninhas pra dançar a noite inteira
Translation
Today is the day, of São João
There is so much bonfire
There are many sky lanterns
There will be many people
There will be fun
The celebration of São João
Is forró all night long
Yes, there will be, more women than men
Yes, there will be, the best forró
Yes, there will be, party on the riverside
I invited the moreninhas to dance all night long
