Ô Iaiá vem ver

Oh Iaiá, come see

Ô Iaiá vem cá

Oh Iaiá, come here

Vem ver coisa bonita

Come see something beautiful

São João no arraia

São João in the village


Vem ver quanta fogueira

Come see how many bonfires

No terreiro embandeirado

In the decorated yard

Foguetes e balões

Fireworks and balloons

Sobre o céu todo estrelado

Above the starry sky

Namoro à moda antiga

Old-fashioned courtship

Com suspiros ao luar

With sighs in the moonlight

Vem ver coisa bonita

Come see something beautiful

São João no arraia

São João in the village


Cachaça em Pernambuco

Cachaça in Pernambuco

Renda só no Ceará

Lace only in Ceará

Café só em São Paulo

Coffee only in São Paulo

Açaí só no Pará

Açaí only in Pará

No clube a ano novo

In the club, for New Year's

Bom na rua é carnavá

But in the street, it's carnival

Nata só presta em casa

Eggnog is only good at home

São João no arraia

São João in the village
