Quadrilha No Pé de Serra

Oh! good party
It's there in my land
An old foot of the mountain
What a memory
Saint John's Day arrives
The people are excited
There's already roasted corn
I'm going back to the backcountry

(chorus)
Light the bonfire
Release the balloon
Mark the square dance
There in the big hall
Let's celebrate my Saint John

Ah! how good it is
To see these lively people
And the young folks
Making guesses
And in the hall
The party is hot
Let's go, my people
Have some drinks and mulled wine

(chorus)
Eat canjica
And dance forró
Until the sun rises
I want a lot of excitement
It's not in vain
Our play
I want to love all night
And not be lonely
