Ai, Xangô, Xangô menino
Da fogueira de São João
Quero ser sempre o menino, Xangô
Da fogueira de São João
Céu de estrela sem destino
De beleza sem razão
Tome conta do destino, Xangô
Da beleza e da razão
Viva São João
Viva o milho verde
Viva São João
Viva o brilho verde
Viva São João
Das matas de Oxossi
Viva São João
Olha pro céu, meu amor
Veja como ele está lindo
Noite tão fria de junho, Xangô
Canto tanto canto lindo
Fogo, fogo de artifício
Quero ser sempre o menino
As estrelas deste mundo, Xangô
Ai, São João, Xangô Menino
Viva São João
Viva Refazenda
Viva São João
Viva Dominguinhos
Viva São João
Viva Qualquer Coisa
Viva São João
Gal Canta Caymmi
Viva São João
Pássaro Proibido
Viva São João
