São João, Xangô Menino
Maria Bethânia
Saint John, Xangô Boy
My father, Saint John the Baptist, he is Xangô
He is the owner of my destiny until the end
If one day I lack faith in my lord
Let this quarry roll over me
My father, Saint John the Baptist, he is Xangô
Oh, Xangô, Xangô boy
From Saint John's bonfire
I always want to be the boy, Xangô
From Saint John's bonfire
Sky of stars without destiny
Of beauty without reason
Take care of destiny, Xangô
Of beauty and reason
(Long live Saint John) long live the green corn
(Long live Saint John) long live the green shine
(Long live Saint John) of Oxóssi's forests
(Long live Saint John)
Look at the sky, my love
See how beautiful it is
Such a cold June night, Xangô
I sing so much beautiful song
Fire, fireworks
I always want to be a boy
The stars of this world, Xangô
Oh, Saint John, Xangô Boy
(Long live Saint John) long live the green corn
(Long live Saint John) long live the green shine
(Long live Saint John) of Oxóssi's forests
(Long live Saint John)
Look at the sky, my love
See how beautiful it is
Look at that multicolored balloon
How it disappears in the sky
It was on a night like this
That you gave me your heart
The sky was like this, in celebration
Because it was Saint John's night
There were balloons in the air
Xote, baião in the hall
And in the yard, your gaze
That set my heart on fire
Look at the sky, my love
See how beautiful it is
Such cold June nights, Xangô
I sing so much beautiful song
Fire, fireworks
I always want to be the boy
The stars of this world, Xangô
Oh, Saint John, Xangô Boy
(Long live Saint John) long live the green corn
(Long live Saint John) long live the green shine
(Long live Saint John) of Oxóssi's forests
(Long live Saint John)
Look at the sky, my love
(Long live Saint John)
Look at the sky, my love
(Long live Saint John)
Oh, Saint John
Saint John of the little lamb
You are so cute
(Long live Saint John)
