Noite de São João
Alceu Valença
Saint John's Night
I said a prayer
Today is Saint John's night
So much longing I can't hold back
My heart is burning like embers
She left and flew away without saying if she'll come back
I said a prayer
Today is Saint John's night
So much longing I can't hold back
My heart is burning like embers
She left and flew away without saying if she'll come back
You don't know how great the suffering is
And my lament is this way of singing
I'm a thrush flying in the sky
I sing, I cry, I lament to make my love come back
I'm a thrush flying in the sky
I sing, I cry, I lament to make my love come back
I'm a thrush, I'm a thrush
I'm a thrush, I'm your thrush
I'm a thrush, I'm a thrush
I'm a thrush, I'm your thrush
I said a prayer
Today is Saint John's night
So much longing I can't hold back
My heart is burning like embers
She left and flew away without saying if she'll come back
I said a prayer
Today is Saint John's night
So much longing I can't hold back
My heart is burning like embers
She left and flew away without saying if she'll come back
You don't know how great the suffering is
And my lament is this way of singing
I'm a thrush flying in the sky
I sing, I cry, I lament to make my love come back
I'm a thrush flying in the sky
I sing, I cry, I lament to make my love come back
I'm a thrush, I'm a thrush
I'm a thrush, I'm your thrush
I'm a thrush, I'm a thrush
I'm a thrush, I'm your thrush
This year I want to spend singing like a thrush
Through Saint John, Saint John of Carneirinho
Saint John of bonfires, Saint John of baião
Saint John of Jackson do Pandeiro
So Brazilian Saint John, who came back, came back on top!
Hugs to Dominguinhos!
