Noite de São João
Kleiton e Kledir
Saint John's Night
It was Saint John's night
And I went out with my brother
With a cork mustache
And a brand new hat
Joker fabric and espadrilles
Every Saint John's night
I dreamed of holding hands
With a beautiful girl
In a calico dress
And Maria Chiquinha
Setting off fireworks (hey)
Jumping over bonfires (ha)
It was Saint John's night
Every Saint John's night
The fair was a big party
Little flags on the wire
Made of cellophane paper
Grease pole and ribbons
It was Saint John's night
And after eating pine nuts
There was peanut brittle
Taffy and a tipsy feeling
With cachaça or mulled wine
Setting off fireworks (hey)
Jumping over bonfires (ha)
It was Saint John's night
It was Saint John's night
Accordion with guitar
Heating up the girls
And me in this dance
Couldn't hold back
Every Saint John's night
I flew like a balloon
I courted the stars
Who are third cousins
And godchildren of Saint John
Setting off fireworks (hey)
Jumping over bonfires (ha)
It was Saint John's night.
