Olê Lê Viva São João

Let's light the bonfire,
Let's all go to the hall
Because tonight all night long
It won't be a joke
Let's cheer for Saint Peter
Saint Anthony and Saint John
Without forgetting to cheer
The owner of the hall

Olê lê long live Saint John
Olê lê long live the owner of the hall

Come here Zé Santana
I'm going there too
I know you deceive me
But still, I care for you
This night of joy
Will make my heart alive
And whether you like it or not
Long live Saint John

At Saint John the party is good
There's love for whoever wants
Men come and stay idle
Among so many women
Gentleman takes the lady
And takes a turn around the hall
I want to see who will be the first
To cheer for Saint John

Pedro dances with Maria
Antonio dances with Zabé
The night goes by and the day comes
People keep coming non-stop
The bonfire turned to ashes
And the sun shines bright
The fun is over
Long live Saint John
