São João é na Bahia

If you're Bahian like me, don't be afraid,
Raise your finger and tell me who has the best São João
Those who are Bahian like me, raise your finger
Don't be afraid and tell me who has the best São João

Some say it's Paraíba,
Someone tell me it's the Bumba-meu-boi from Pará
Aracajú, Caruaru, Fortaleza
Maceió says there's no better São João
I, a Bahian of revelry
Speak with joy and great conviction
Our Bahia is of all saints
Poetry and enchantment of the best São João
Our Bahia is of all saints
Poetry and enchantment of the best São João

And if the 'singers' from there are here at home every day
In Bahia, why deny it
If the singers from there are here at home every day
It's proven, the amazing São João is the São João of Bahia

And if the 'singers' from there are here at home every day
In Bahia, then why deny it
If the forrozeiros from there are here at home every day
It's proven, the amazing São João is the São João of Bahia

If you're Bahian like me, don't be afraid,
Raise your finger and tell me who has the best São João
Those who are Bahian like me, raise your finger
Don't be afraid and tell me who has the best São João

Some say it's Paraíba,
Someone tell me it's the Bumba-meu-boi from Pará
Aracajú, Caruaru, Fortaleza
Maceió says there's no better São João
I, a Bahian of revelry
Speak with joy and great conviction
Our Bahia is of all saints
Poetry and enchantment of the best São João
Our Bahia is of all saints
Poetry and enchantment of the best São João
Our Bahia is of all saints
Poetry and enchantment of the best São João

And if the 'singers' from there are here at home every day
In Bahia, why deny it
If the singers from there are here at home every day
It's proven, the amazing São João is the São João of Bahia

And if the 'singers' from there are here at home every day
In Bahia, then why deny it
If the forrozeiros from there are here at home every day
It's proven, the amazing São João is the São João of Bahia
