Full lyrics
Vou brincar São João na roça
Na roça tem mais animação
Tem fogueira no terreiro da palhoça
E lá se brinca até de pé no chão
Racha a lenha , põe no fogo
Não deixa o fogo apagar
Quero ver a labareda no terreiro clarear
Translation
I'm going to celebrate Saint John's in the countryside
In the countryside there's more excitement
There's a bonfire in the yard of the straw hut
And there people have fun even barefoot
Split the wood, put it on the fire
Don't let the fire go out
I want to see the flame light up the yard
