Fire Without a Gun

Fogo Sem Fuzil

This year I'm flying off to the countryside to dance for Saint JohnEu esse ano voa embora pro sertão pra dançar pelo São João
Partying with over a thousand, seeFarriar com mais de mil, ver
The old folks shooting with their riflesOs velhotes atirar de granadeiro
And the young ones in the yard havingE a moçada no terreiro tirar
Fire without a gunFogo sem fuzil

And the kids playing ringE a meninada brincar de anel
Corn pudding and coffee, always on the tablePamonha e café, sempre na mesa
And the brown-skinned girls, serving withE as moreninhas, pra sevir com
Joy, when the nextAlegria, quando for no outro
Day comes, there'll definitely be tripeDia tem buchada com certeza
