Boi de Parintins

Tonight on this moonlit night
I'll light my bonfire
And play boi-bumbá
I'll invite my sweetheart
In the sway of this dance
Two steps to the left and two to the right

Tonight is Caprichoso's party
And at this party, my caboclo
Adorned to play
I'll raise my flag
And join the fun
And no one will hold me back

Bull-bull-bull my boi-bumbá
A caboclo party is like this
Whoever wants can join
Bull-bull-bull my boi-bumbá
Caprichoso's bull is like this
Born to celebrate folklore

Come Mother Catirina, Father Francisco
From the forest comes my tribe
And the cowboys galloping
I stick with my tradition
The marujada when it plays makes my bull sway
Here comes my lady
Waiting for my boi-bumbá
Recite your verse, my master
Caprichoso's bull just arrived

Bull-bull-bull my boi-bumbá
Long live my Saint John
My popular folklore
Bull-bull-bull my boi-bumbá
Long live my Saint John
Fireworks for my boi-bumbá
