Noite de São João

Saint John's Night
It's Saint John's night
There are balloons and bonfires
There's popcorn and mulled wine
In the yard and in the hall
There's a flirtatious girl
Come, come, come
Saint John of the little lamb
Come, come, come
My Saint John of the little lamb
There's corn cake and green corn
There are rockets and firecrackers
There's a drum, there's a guitar
And the accordion player, sways
In the famous shuffle
Come, come, come
Saint John of the little lamb
Come, come, come
My Saint John of the little lamb
There's forró in the barn
There's plenty in the backcountry
There's a circle dance, there's a folk dance
Hillbilly wedding
Holding onto tradition
Come, come, come
Saint John of the little lamb
Come, come, come
My Saint John of the little lamb
Paper flags
Hanging on the string
Peanut candy, sweet potato
My love, oh if it weren't
Time to pound in the mortar
Come, come, come
Saint John of the little lamb
Come, come, come
My Saint John of the little lamb
