Full lyrics

Olha pro céu, meu amor

Vê como ele está lindo

Olha pra aquele balão multicor

Como no céu vai sumindo


Foi numa noite igual a esta

Que tu me deste o coração

O céu estava assim em festa

Porque era noite de São João


Havia balões no ar

Xote, baião no salão

E no terreiro o teu olhar

Que incendiou meu coração


Ai que saudades que eu sinto

Das noites de São João

Das noites tão brasileiras nas fogueiras

Sob o luar do sertão

Das noites tão brasileiras nas fogueiras

Sob o luar do sertão


Meninos brincando de roda

Velhos soltando balão

Moços em volta à fogueira brincando com o coração

Eita, São João dos meus sonhos

Eita, saudoso sertão, ai, ai

Translation

Look at the sky, my love

See how beautiful it is

Look at that multicolored sky lantern

How it disappears into the sky


It was on a night like this

That you gave me your heart

The sky was celebrating like this

Because it was São João night


There were sky lanterns in the air

Xote, baião in the hall

And in the yard your gaze

That set my heart on fire


Oh, what saudades I feel

Of the São João nights

Of such Brazilian nights by the bonfires

Under the moonlight of the sertão

Of such Brazilian nights by the bonfires

Under the moonlight of the sertão


Boys playing ring-around-the-rosy

Old people releasing sky lanterns

Young men around the bonfire playing with hearts

Eita, São João of my dreams

Eita, nostalgic sertão, ai, ai
