Full lyrics

É são joão

São joão batizador

É quadrilha no sertão não precisa ensaiador


Já basta pelo canto da parede um sanfoneiro

Já basta ter pavio e muito gás no candeeiro

Já basta no terreiro, ter balão e ter fogueira.

É todo mundo na quadrilha a noite inteira


Eu grito, anariê, já tamos de cara cheia.

A mulher pega uma garrafa, e os homens garrafa e meia

Translation

It's São João

São João the Baptizer

It's quadrilha in the sertão, no need for a rehearsal leader


It's enough to have a sanfoneiro in the corner of the wall

It's enough to have a wick and a lot of gas in the lamp

It's enough in the yard, to have sky lanterns and a bonfire.

Everyone is in the quadrilha all night long


I shout, anariê, we're already full of drink.

The woman takes one bottle, and the men a bottle and a half
