Full lyrics
Vamos brincar na fogueira
Vamos festejar São João
Vamos formar a quadrilha
E balançar pra multidão
Que festa boa, a noite de São João
O povo todo na rua fazendo adivinhação
Sanfona, triangulo e zabumba e tremendo arrasta-pé
Vamos formar a quadrilha pra mostrar como é que é
Translation
Let's play at the bonfire
Let's celebrate São João
Let's form the quadrilha
And sway for the crowd
What a good party, the night of São João
All the people in the street doing fortune-telling
Sanfona, triangle and zabumba and a tremendous arrasta-pé
Let's form the quadrilha to show how it is
