I made a prayer
Today is Saint John's night
So much longing, I can't hold it back anymore
My heart is burning like a coal
She left, she flew away without saying if she'll return

I made a prayer
Today is Saint John's night
So much longing, I can't hold it back anymore
My heart is burning like a coal
She left, she flew away without saying if she'll return

You don't know how great the suffering is
And my lament is this way of singing
I'm a thrush flying in the firmament
I sing, I cry, I lament to make my love return
I'm a thrush flying in the firmament
I sing, I cry, I lament to make my love return

I'm a thrush, I'm a thrush
I'm a thrush, I'm your thrush

I'm a thrush, I'm a thrush
I'm a thrush, I'm your thrush

I made a prayer
Today is Saint John's night
So much longing, I can't hold it back anymore
My heart is burning like a coal
She left, she flew away without saying if she'll return

I made a prayer
Today is Saint John's night
So much longing, I can't hold it back anymore
My heart is burning like a coal
She left, she flew away without saying if she'll return

You don't know how great the suffering is
And my lament is this way of singing
I'm a thrush flying in the firmament
I sing, I cry, I lament to make my love return
I'm a thrush flying in the firmament
I sing, I cry, I lament to make my love return

I'm a thrush, I'm a thrush
I'm a thrush, I'm your thrush

I'm a thrush, I'm a thrush
I'm a thrush, I'm your thrush

This year I want to spend singing like a thrush
Saint John of the Little Lamb
Saint John of the bonfires
Saint John of the Baião
Saint John of Jaques and tambourine
Such a Brazilian Saint John
Who came back, came back on top
Yes, a hug from Dominguinhos
