Full lyrics
Eu vou fazer carnaval em São João
Tudo num dia só
Vou misturar poeira do suor
Fricote, deboche e forró
Pra ver o que vai dar
Vou misturar frevo com arrastapé
Homem, menino e mulher fogueira sol e pular
Vou misturar quadrilha com dodô e osmar
Vamos botar pra quebrar
Até o sol raiar
Vou misturar, sanfona, guitarra e ganzá
Gritar de saudade e amor vou com as águas do mar
Eu quero ver a moçada gritando me acoxa
Forró é fricote, é deboche, deixa a fogueira queimar
Translation
I'm going to make carnival in São João
All in one day
I'm going to mix sweat dust
Fuss, mockery and forró
To see what will happen
I'm going to mix frevo with arrastapé
Man, boy and woman bonfire sun and jump
I'm going to mix quadrilha with dodô and osmar
Let's put it to break
Until the sun rises
I'm going to mix accordion, guitar and ganzá
Shout with longing and love I'll go with the waters of the sea
I want to see the crowd shouting squeeze me tight
Forró is fuss, it's mockery, let the bonfire burn
