São João
São joão era menino
Só vivia nas campinas
Pastorando as suas ovelhas
Pregando as santas doutrinas
Pregando as santas doutrinas
O amor ele empregou
Atrás dele veio jesus
Toda verdade afirmou
Toda verdade afirmou
Gravou no coração
Ambos foram batizados
No rio de jordão
No rio de jordão
Ambos (es)tiveram em pé
Um é filho de maria
O outro é filho de isabel
Jesus estava vestido
Com sua roupa cor de cana
Dando viva ao pai eterno
E viva a senhora santana
Saint John
Saint John was a boy
He only lived in the countryside
Tending to his sheep
Preaching the holy doctrines
Preaching the holy doctrines
He employed love
Behind him came Jesus
Affirming all truth
Affirming all truth
He engraved in his heart
Both were baptized
In the Jordan River
In the Jordan River
Both stood
One is the son of Mary
The other is the son of Elizabeth
Jesus was dressed
In his cane-colored clothes
Giving praise to the eternal father
And long live Lady Santana
