We were rolling about

Without further context, you might consider "We were rolling about...", which evokes an image of the people rolling about on the ground.
Another option could be "rolling along" depending on the situation, for example if they are in some kind of vehicle.

As for the "incendiado " part, "burning from the stings" is an option, as in thesd examples:
"I was burning from the stings and could feel my skin getting tight ..."
"Within 15minutes my boots were drenched and my arms and shoulders were burning from the stings"
Example sentence:

But an hour later we were rolling about in agony...

We were rolling about laughing...
