Full lyrics
A reiuna vai roncar
No terreiro da fazenda
Quero todo mundo lá
No terreiro da fazenda
Vai ter bebo pra daná
No terreiro da fazenda
Ô balance balanceá
Em janeiro eu fiz a broca
Fevereiro eu queimei
Não tardou choveu em março
Eu plantei, semeei
Mês de maio já tem milho
São João pra festejar
Convidei um sanfoneiro
E quero todo mundo lá
Quero vê o velho barbino
Com seu fole prateado
Fazer rosca no bigode
E quebrar o chapéu de lado
Se deitar nos 8 baixos
Da terra subiu calor
Todo mundo agarradinho como abeia na fulô
Translation
The accordion is going to roar
In the farm's yard
I want everyone there
In the farm's yard
There's going to be drunk people galore
In the farm's yard
Oh, sway, sway
In January I tilled the soil
In February I burned it
It wasn't long before it rained in March
I planted, I sowed
In May there's already corn
Saint John's to celebrate
I invited an accordion player
And I want everyone there
I want to see old barbino
With his silver bellows
Making a twist in his mustache
And tilting his hat to the side
If he lies down on the 8 basses
Heat rose from the earth
Everyone clinging together like bees on a flower
