Full lyrics
Terminou a festa, foi embora a noite e eu na solidão
Apagou a fogueira, só ficou a cinza colorindo o chão
Eu esperei tanto com tanta alegria e meu amor não veio
Saudade dum lado
Tristeza do outro
E eu fiquei no meio
Vai, vai saudade, a procura dela
Vai, vai tristeza
Vai dizer pra ela que eu sofri tanto
Por ficar sozinho neste São João
Que o desespero vem fazer morada no meu coração
Translation
The party ended, the night went away and I'm in solitude
The bonfire went out, only ashes remained coloring the ground
I waited so long with so much joy and my love didn't come
Longing on one side
Sadness on the other
And I stayed in the middle
Go, go longing, look for her
Go, go sadness
Go tell her that I suffered so much
For being alone in this São João
That despair comes to dwell in my heart
