Full lyrics
Retalho na barra da saia
Sandália na baia
No barro do chão
Fazendo poeira
Retalho na barra da saia
Sandália na baia
No barro do chão
Fazendo poeira
Hoje tem São João
Hoje tem fogueira
Na brincadeira
Do coração
Hoje tem estrelinhas
Chuva fininha
Pra gente lavar paixão
Cheiro de fogo de lamparina, tem
Moça menina querendo casar, tem
Também tem
Cabra agarrado na concertina
Margarida matuta fina
Nela eu parei
E hoje tem
Hoje tem carinho
Mais do que balão
Debaixo da rede
Tem meu chinelo, pisando o dela no chão
Retalho na barra da saia
Sandália na baia
No barro do chão
Fazendo poeira
Retalho na barra da saia
Sandália na baia
No barro do chão
Fazendo poeira
Hoje tem São João
Hoje tem fogueira
Na brincadeira
Do coração
Hoje tem estrelinhas
Chuva fininha
Pra gente lavar paixão
Cheiro de fogo de lamparina, tem
Moça menina querendo casar, tem
Também tem
Cabra agarrado na concertina
Margarida matuta fina
Nela eu parei
E hoje tem
Hoje tem carinho
Mais do que balão
Debaixo da rede
Tem meu chinelo, pisando o dela no chão
Hoje tem carinho
Mais do que balão
Debaixo da rede
Tem meu chinelo, pisando o dela no chão
Translation
Patch on the hem of the skirt
Sandal in the stall
In the mud on the ground
Kicking up dust
Patch on the hem of the skirt
Sandal in the stall
In the mud on the ground
Kicking up dust
Today there's São João
Today there's a bonfire
In the game
Of the heart
Today there are little stars
Fine rain
For us to wash away passion
Scent of oil lamp fire, there is
Young girl wanting to marry, there is
Also there is
Guy clinging to the concertina
Fine matuta Margarida
On her I stopped
And today there is
Today there's affection
More than sky lanterns
Under the hammock
There's my flip-flop, stepping on hers on the ground
Patch on the hem of the skirt
Sandal in the stall
In the mud on the ground
Kicking up dust
Patch on the hem of the skirt
Sandal in the stall
In the mud on the ground
Kicking up dust
Today there's São João
Today there's a bonfire
In the game
Of the heart
Today there are little stars
Fine rain
For us to wash away passion
Scent of oil lamp fire, there is
Young girl wanting to marry, there is
Also there is
Guy clinging to the concertina
Fine matuta Margarida
On her I stopped
And today there is
Today there's affection
More than sky lanterns
Under the hammock
There's my flip-flop, stepping on hers on the ground
Today there's affection
More than sky lanterns
Under the hammock
There's my flip-flop, stepping on hers on the ground
