Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Vai, vai, vai, nessa roda eu vou brincar

Go, go, go, in this circle I will play

Vai, vai, vai, nessa roda é bom demais

Go, go, go, in this circle it's really good


O céu todo estrelado

The sky full of stars

Lua clara e o povão

Clear moon and the people

Hoje é dia de festa

Today is a day of celebration

É noite de são joão

It's the night of Saint John


Bote a lenha na fogueira

Put wood in the bonfire

Pra soltar bomba e rojão

To set off firecrackers and rockets

Menino vai na cozinha

Child, go to the kitchen

Traz o litro de quentão

Bring the liter of hot mulled wine


Vi a fogueira queimar

I saw the bonfire burning

Vi o dia clarear

I saw the day break

Vi o balão subir

I saw the balloon rise

Na festa do "arraiá"

At the "arraiá" party


Menino vai lá na roça

Child, go to the field

Quebra o milho pra assar

Shell the corn for roasting

Traga pamonha, canjica

Bring corn pudding, hominy

Que é pro povo se animar

So the people can liven up
