English Translation

Acorda povo

Wake up, people

Que o são joão chegou;

For Saint John has arrived;

Vamos pro forró

Let's go to the forró

Que a festa começou;

For the party has begun;

Vamos dançar côco,

Let's dance coco,

Xaxado, xote e baião;

Xaxado, xote, and baião;

E acender essa fogueira;

And light up this bonfire;

De são pedro e são joão.

For Saint Peter and Saint John.


Acorda povo

Wake up, people

Que a noite é brejeira;

For the night is charming;

Do pilão do milho,

From the corn pestle,

Da sanfona gemedeira;

From the moaning accordion;

Quebrando coco,

Breaking coconut,

Queimando carvão;

Burning charcoal;

Dessa festa brasileira;

From this Brazilian party;

De são pedro e são joão

Of Saint Peter and Saint John.
