Full lyrics
Que noite tão colorida
É a noite de São João
No terreiro tem fogueira
No céu estrela e balão
Os velhos fazem prece
E as moças adivinhação
E no salão também tem forró
E os casais dançando
Molhadinhos de suor
Se ouve o chão conversando com o sapato
E também o sanfoneiro cochichando com os baixo
Chap, chap, chap
Chinela no chão
Chap, chap, chap
Bota lenha na fogueira
Chap, chap, chap
Requebrando no salão
Chap, chap, chap, chap
E é forró a noite inteira
Translation
What a colorful night
It's the night of São João
In the yard there's a bonfire
In the sky, stars and sky lanterns
The elders say prayers
And the young women do divinations
And in the dance hall there's also forró
And the couples dancing
Soaked in sweat
You can hear the floor talking with the shoe
And also the sanfoneiro whispering with the bass
Chap, chap, chap
Sandal on the floor
Chap, chap, chap
Put wood on the bonfire
Chap, chap, chap
Swaying their hips in the dance hall
Chap, chap, chap, chap
And it's forró all night long
