Fogo Sem Fuzil
Eu esse ano voa embora pro sertão pra dançar pelo São João
farriar com mais de mil, ver
o 'sagoite' atirar de granadeiro
e a moçada no terreiro tirar
fogo sem fuzil. (2x)
E a meninada brincar de anel,
pamonha e café, sempre na mesa
e as moreninhas, pra sevir com
alegria, quando for no outro
dia tem buchada com certeza.
Fire Without a Rifle
This year I fly away to the countryside to dance during Saint John's
Party with over a thousand, see
the 'sagoite' shooting grenades
and the young folks in the yard
setting fire without a rifle. (2x)
And the kids play ring games,
corn cake and coffee, always on the table
and the little brown girls, to serve with
joy, when it's the next
day there's definitely 'buchada'.
