Ô, Gil
Oh, Gil
Cadê as quadrilhas?
Where are the gangs?
Não tem
It does not have
Esse ano ano não pode ter aglomeração, né
This year there cannot be crowds, right?
Aí as quadrilhas
Then the gangs
São tantas, né
There are so many, right?
Ali no Nordeste brasileiro
There in the Brazilian Northeast
Bahia, Sergipe, sua terra
Bahia, Sergipe, your land
Alagoas, Pernambuco
Alagoas, Pernambuco
Rio Grande do Norte
large northern river
Paraíba, Maranhão
Paraíba, Maranhão
E fora também, aqui, por aqui
And outside too, here, around here
Paraná, quadrilhas e tudo
Paraná, gangs and all
Esse ano não tem
This year there is no
Esse ano não tem
This year there is no
Uma pena, porque
A shame, because
Eu vou dizer pra você
I will tell you
Que eu 'to com uma saudade de ouvir um 'anarriê'
That I miss hearing an 'anarriê'
Um 'alavantô'
A 'leverage'
Ver aquelas percatinhas de couro
See those little leather girls
Travessê de ziguezague
Zigzag beam
Mas a gente pode amenizar, né, esse São João
But we can soften it, right, this São João
Pode
He can
Com uma sanfoninha
With an accordion
E aqui a gente vai fazendo
And here we are doing
E você aí em casa vai sentindo o ri, né Larinha
And you're feeling the laughter at home, right Larinha?
Tenha certeza que tem muita gente em casa dançando, viu
Make sure there are a lot of people at home dancing, see
Pode crer
Sure
Afasta o sofá da casa ali e fica dançando
Move the sofa away from the house and start dancing
E a fogueirinha ali queimando
And the little bonfire there burning
'Tá bonita essa fogueira
'This bonfire is beautiful
Então vamos arrochar o nó aqui, né
So let's tighten the knot here, shall we?
Vamo' vamo' vamo'
Let's go' let's go'
Vamo' embora
Let's go
Vou botar essa sanfoninha pra falar então
I'm going to put on this accordion to talk then
É com você mesmo
It's up to you
