Full lyrics
Fagulhas, pontas de agulhas
Brilham estrelas de São João
Babados, xotes e xaxados
Segura as pontas meu coração
Bombas na guerra-magia
Ninguem matava, ninguem morria
Nas trincheiras da alegria
O que explodia era o amor
Nas trincheiras da alegria
O que explodia era o amor
Bis
E ardia aquela fogueira
Que me esquenta a vida inteira
Eterna noite sempre a primeira
Festa do Interior
Bis
Translation
Sparks, needle points
São João stars shine
Ruffles, xotes and xaxados
Hold on, my heart
Bombs in the war-magic
No one killed, no one died
In the trenches of joy
What exploded was love
In the trenches of joy
What exploded was love
Bis
And that bonfire burned
That warms me my whole life
Eternal night, always the first
Interior Festival
Bis
