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 old folks say prayers
And the young women tell fortunes
And in the hall there's also forró
And the couples dancing
Drenched in sweat
You hear the floor talking to 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 in the hall
Chap, chap, chap, chap
And it's forró all night long
