Saint John's Night

Kleiton e Kledir

Noite de São João

Era noite de São João
E eu saia com meu irmão
De bigode de rolha
E chapéu novo em folha
Brim Coringa e alpargata

Toda noite de São João
Eu sonhava em pegar da mão
De uma prenda bonita
De vestido de chita
E Maria Chiquinha

Soltando foguete (tchê)
Pulando fogueira (há)
Era noite de São João

Toda noite de São João
A quermesse era um festão
Bandeirinhas no arame
De papel celofane
Pau de sebo e de fita

Era noite de São João
E depois de comer pinhão
Vinha pé-de-moleque
Puxa-puxa e um pileque
De caninha ou de quentão

Soltando foguete (tchê)
Pulando fogueira (há)
Era noite de São João

Era noite de São João
Cordeona com violão
Esquentavam as moça
E eu nesse bate-coxa
Não podia me segurar

Toda noite de São João
Eu voava que nem balão
Namorava as estrelas
Que são primas terceiras
E afilhadas de São João

Soltando foguete (tchê)
Pulando fogueira (há)
Era noite de São João.

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.
