Brincar de São João

This year I'm going to the backlands
Dance quadrille and play Saint John's Day
I want to meet with my love
Jump over the bonfire and dance the xenhenhém

This year I'm going to the backlands

Phrase in the low region {do-si-la}
I want to see my people
Be happy again
And me in the middle of the crowd
Heating things up, bringing Saint John's Day to life
