Full lyrics
Hoje essa noite é nossa
Hoje eu quero alegria
Vou afogar a tristeza
Até amanhecer o dia
Eu vou dançar
Eu vou beber, até cair
Eu vou, eu vou
Pular fogueira por ai
Eu vou, eu vou
Andar sete léguas e meia
Gandaiar a noite inteira
Eu vou me divertir
Por isso o povo quer forró, quer
Beber quentão, quer
Quer milho verde, quer
Então viva a são joão
Translation
Tonight is our night
Tonight I want joy
I'm going to drown the sadness
Until the day dawns
I'm going to dance
I'm going to drink, until I fall
I'm going, I'm going
Jump over bonfires around
I'm going, I'm going
Walk seven leagues and a half
Roam all night long
I'm going to have fun
That's why the people want forró, want
Drink quentão, want
Want green corn, want
So long live Saint John
