São João, São Pedro

Saint John
Saint Peter sent for you
The ground burns with the fire of the bonfire
It's wood on top of wood
When the night asks to brighten

Time passed
Only embers remained
The fire went out
It was time to put out
Only embers remained
Time passed
Life changed
It will always change

Saint John
Saint Peter sent for you
The ground burns with the fire of the bonfire
It's wood on top of wood
When the night asks to brighten

June 24th, Saint John's Day
On the 28th, we will celebrate
The saint who can bring rain
But also the one who can take it away

Every day the ground burns
I looked at the sky and saw Saint John
With Saint Isabel
