Full lyrics
Olha o claro da fogueira
Olha como tem balão
Olha o tiro da ronqueira
Chega a parecer um canhão
Viva São João, ai como é bonitinho
Trazendo nos braços o seu carneirinho
Corre as moças pro terreiro
Todas com animação
Vão pra beira da fogueira
Fazer adivinhação
Pra ver se no outro ano
Já esta casada ou não
Translation
Look at the light of the bonfire
Look how many sky lanterns there are
Look at the shot from the blunderbuss
It even sounds like a cannon
Long live São João, oh how cute he is
Bringing his little lamb in his arms
The girls run to the yard
All with excitement
They go to the edge of the bonfire
To do fortune-telling
To see if next year
They are already married or not
