Full lyrics
Vou pra fogueira assar uma espiguinha
De milho verde pra entregar a vocÊ,ôi...
Sapecadinha com encanto e amizade
Pelas brasinhas desse amor por você!!
Eu peço a São João
Que alumine o caminho
Do seu coração
De encontro ao meu!...
De tanto esperar
Peço: demore não
Mas, por que razão
Quer me machucar!!!
São João dormiu e acordou...
Atenda o meu pedido, São João mandou!
Translation
I'm going to the bonfire to roast a small ear
Of green corn to give to you, oh...
Lightly roasted with charm and friendship
By the embers of this love for you!!
I ask São João
To illuminate the path
Of your heart
To meet mine!...
After so much waiting
I ask: don't delay
But, for what reason
Do you want to hurt me!!!
São João slept and woke up...
Grant my request, São João commanded!
