Noite de São João

Put ginger in the mulled wine
Tonight is Saint John's night
Set fire to the bonfire
All the people come to dance

From the sky
The dew slowly descends
Bringing its blessing to bless us
Bringing the good rain that is already coming

There's Maria, there's João
There's square dance, there's baião
There's the angry father of the bride
And there's the runaway groom

There's hominy, there's mulled wine
There's flag, there's balloon
There's love and there's bonfire
Inside my heart

From the sky
The dew slowly descends
And the stars that shine in your eyes
Make the green of love bloom

There's Maria, there's João
There's square dance, there's baião
There's the angry father of the bride
And there's the runaway groom

There's hominy, there's mulled wine
There's flag, there's balloon
There's love and there's bonfire
Inside my heart
