Full lyrics

Meu bem me escreveu uma cartinha

Mandou dizer que vinha na noite de São João

Quebrei um milho formei uma fogueira

Fiquei a noite inteira naquela ilusão

Chamei um sanfoneiro, formei uma latada

Chegou a madrugada e eu naquele aperreio

Passou-se a noite e eu sem alegria

Amanheceu o dia e meu amor não veio


Passou-se Santo Antonio

São João passou também

São Pedro já chegou

E ainda estou sem ninguém

Por pouco vem natal a melhor festa que tem

Trazendo um novo ano e meu amor não vem


Houve tanto balão, a fogueira queimou

Chegou meu São João e ela não chegou


.

Translation

My darling wrote me a little letter

Sent word that they were coming on the night of São João

I husked corn, built a bonfire

I spent the whole night in that illusion

I called a sanfona player, built a covered structure

Dawn arrived and I was in that distress

The night passed and I without joy

The day dawned and my love didn't come


Santo Antônio passed

São João passed too

São Pedro has already arrived

And I am still without anyone

Soon Christmas, the best party there is, is coming

Bringing a new year and my love doesn't come


There were so many sky lanterns, the bonfire burned

My São João arrived and she didn't arrive
