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
