Full lyrics
Eu esse ano vou fazer quentão
Vou fazer balão
Para enfeitar
Pula fogueira
Milho verde e pipoca
Bolo de mandioca
E a sanfona vai tocar
Chegou, chegou
A quanto tempo eu espero São João pra dançar
Chegou, chegou
O sanfoneiro a noite inteira vai tocar
Translation
This year I'm going to make quentão
I'm going to make sky lanterns
To decorate
Jump bonfire
Green corn and popcorn
Cassava cake
And the sanfona will play
It arrived, it arrived
How long I've waited for São João to dance
It arrived, it arrived
The sanfoneiro will play all night long
