Vira do Minho

Lads and ladies
Who'd like to learn to dance
Get strength in your legs
That the Vira will begin
That the Vira will begin
Ó ai ó lari ló lela

I'm from the north, I'm from the north
From the north of Portugal
I only bring songs from the land
Where the Vira is natural
Ó ai ó lari ló lela

It reminds me of the times
When I was still a girl
Being able to hear the Vira
To the sound of an accordion
To the sound of an accordion
Ó ai ó lari ló lela

I may be very tired
On the verge of despair
But if I hear the Vira play
Oh, legs, what do I want you for?
Oh, legs, what do I want you for?
Ó ai ó lari ló lela

There are no parties here in the north
Without mussels and blue whiting
There is no such Minho festival
Without having the Vira of the Minho
Without having the Vira of the Minho
Ó ai ó lari ló lela
