Acende o Candieiro

Adoniran Barbosa Adoniran Barbosa

Light the Lantern

Spoken:

"Go on, girl, tell them Dad sent you, you see

Go on and tell them Dad sent you, go on, girl."

Light the lantern,
Oh girl
Brighten up the yard,
Oh girl
Go let everyone know
That today we’re having
A full rehearsal

Hurry up, Maria
Before it gets late
It’ll be dark soon
Can’t let anyone know
On the way back don’t forget
To talk to Miss Irene

And stop by the store
Bring back a pack
Of candles
And a gallon of kerosene

This time
It can’t happen
Like it did last time
It was something crazy
The rehearsal stopped
Because we ran out of fuel

Go on, girl, go.
