São João do Carneirinho
Elba Ramalho
Saint John of Carneirinho
I planted all my corn
On Saint Joseph's day
If providence helps me
We'll have corn in abundance
I'll harvest through the furrows
Twenty ears on each stalk
I'll harvest through the furrows
Twenty ears on each stalk
Oh, Saint John, Saint John of the little sheep
You are so kind
Speak to Saint Joseph
Speak to Saint Joseph
Ask him to help me
Ask for my corn to yield
Twenty ears on each stalk
(This year I will harvest)
