Isto É Lá Com Santo Antônio (Marcha/ Festa Junina)

I asked in a prayer
To dear Saint John
To give me a marriage.
Saint John said no!
Saint John said no!
This is there with Saint Anthony!
I asked in a prayer
To dear Saint John
To give me a marriage.
Marriage! Marriage!
This is there with Saint Anthony!

I implored Saint John
To at least give me a card,
That I would take to Saint Anthony.
Saint John got angry.
Saint John only gives cards
With the right to baptism.
I implored Saint John
To at least give me a card,
That I would take to Saint Anthony.
Marriage! Marriage!
That is there with Saint Anthony!

Saint John not answering me,
To Saint Peter I ran
To the gates of paradise.
The old man said with a smile:
“My people, I am a locksmith,
I have never been a matchmaker!”
Saint John not answering me
To Saint Peter I ran
To the gates of paradise.
Marriage! Marriage!
That is there with Saint Anthony!
