Intro
Oh, what a good thing, my friend!
Verso 1
At the festa, it's pure joy,
Jump the bonfire, it's party every day.
There’s mulled wine, corn, and peanut candy,
There’s pine nuts and tapioca.
The accordion plays and the people get excited,
The sound moves and warms up the quadrilha dance.
Straw hat, a smile in the eyes,
Ponte
Look, a snake! (It’s a lie!)
Look, the rain! (It’s gone!)
The accordion cries, and the forró never stops,
Refrão
The party is on fire, you better believe,
To the beat of the bass drum, everyone’s gonna dance.
The accordion moans loud, marks the floor in the hall,
Verso 2
There’s fishing games, and love mail for the elegant,
The sound of the accordion is contagious.
Candy apples, cakes, and sweet corn pudding,
The triangle jingles, and the forró multiplies.
Fix your plaid shirt, tighten your hat,
In the arrasta-pé dance, no one looks to the sky.
The bonfire is lit, let’s celebrate,
Refrão
The party is on fire, you better believe,
To the beat of the bass drum, everyone’s gonna dance.
The accordion moans loud, marks the floor in the hall,
Final
Hooray for Saint John, hooray for Saint Anthony,
Run there and light the lantern!
The accordion is crying, don’t let it be silent,
Next year there’s more, let’s celebrate!
