São Xangô Menino

And today is São João's birthday
And today is São João's birthday
Let's eat canjica
Let's release balloons
Because today is São João's birthday

São Xangô Boy
Carries the ram in his chest
Loving
From the loved one
Command uniperfect

I have fire in my throat
Only quentão to sing
It's a party in the alley
In the barn's balcony
The farm girls
Overcome their chores
Let's pay the pledge
In the liqueur of goodwill

Accordion player laughing
Carries the accordion in his chest
Zabumba is Pedro
And the triangle player is Tonho Casamenteiro
