Full lyrics

Eu quero o são João

Moreninha, Morenão

Eu quero o são João

Por favor, não negue não

Eu quero o são João

Ponha aqui na minha mão

Eu quero o são João

Pode ser seu coração


Tem batata, tem mulher, tem aipim.

Pra falar mesmo a verdade, eu quero a papuda pra mim.

Translation

I want the São João festival

Brunette, Dark-skinned man

I want the São João festival

Please, don't deny it

I want the São João festival

Put it here in my hand

I want the São João festival

It can be your heart


There's potato, there's woman, there's cassava

To tell you the truth, I want the slammer for me.
