Paroles et traduction Luiz Gonzaga - Lendas de Sao Joao

Lendas de Sao Joao

Eu vou, vou soltá foguete
Eu vou, vou soltá balão
Eu vou festejá São Pedro
Eu vou festejá São João } bis

Diz que Santa Isabel
Disse a prima Maria
João vindo ao mundo
Lhe aviso no dia
Ao ver no meu rancho

Um grande clarão
E uma fogueira
Nasceu São João
Por isso que o mundo
Com muita razão
Assim festeja
O Senhor São João

Disse que São João foi dormir
E que só se acordou
No dia de Pedro
E São João se zangou
Pois tinha pedido
A santa família
Que lhe acordasse
Chagando o seu dia
Mas se ele saísse
Do sono profundo
Um grande incêndio
Acabava o mundo

Legends of Saint John

I'll go, I'll release a rocket
I'll go, I'll release a balloon
I'll celebrate Saint Peter
I'll celebrate Saint John } bis

It is said that Saint Elizabeth
Told her cousin Mary
When John comes into the world
I will let you know that day
When you see in my ranch

A great brightness
And a bonfire
Saint John was born
That is why the world
Quite rightly
Celebrates like this
Lord Saint John

It is said that Saint John went to sleep
And only woke up
On Saint Peter's day
And Saint John was angry
Because he had asked
The Holy Family
To wake him
When his day came
But if he came out
Of his deep sleep
A great fire
Would end the world
