It is recited each week at the English Village English conversation course I help out at three or four times a year. During the middle of the week the queimada is prepared and the verses read out in Galician, Spanish and English and then all attendees have to drink at least one cup. The English Village claims it improves fluency. Actually the English speakers' fluency decreases slightly after their first sip, but they usualy recover!! I love queimada – depending who prepares it.
