Full lyrics
Quando o fogo na fogueira
Da fogueira queimando
É, que queimando
Tem planta a fogueira queima
Nós vamos sanjuando
Vamos sanjuando, nós vamos sanjuando
Vamos, que vamos, vam, vamos
Levo vejo de mulher
Vamos, que vamos, vam, vamos
Na brasa massa está no pé
Vamos, que vamos, vam, vamos
E depois da bebedeira vem ginga
Se acende fogueira vem rolando na ladeira
Translation
When the fire in the bonfire
Of the bonfire burning
It is, that burning
There's a plant the bonfire burns
We are going sanjuaning
We are going sanjuaning, we are going sanjuaning
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
I take a look at the woman
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
In the embers, the dough is on the foot
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
And after the drinking comes the sway
If the bonfire lights up, it comes rolling down the slope
