Eu vi o céu à meia-noite
I saw the sky at midnight
Se avermelhando num clarão
Redder in a flash
Como incêndio anunciado
How fire advertised
No apocalipse de são joão
In the apocalypse of St. John
Porém não era nada disso
But it wasn't any of that
Era um curisco, era um lampião
It was a curisco, it was a lantern
Eu vi um risco nos espaços
I saw a risk in the spaces
Era um revôo do sanhaçu
It was a reflight of the sanhaçu
Eu vi o dia amanhecendo
I saw the day dawn
No ronco do maracatu
In maracatu snoring
Não era lança de são jorge
It wasn't st. George's spear
Era o espinho do mandacaru
It was the thorn of the mandacaru
Eu vi o som na escadaria
I saw the sound on the staircase
Dó, ré, mi, fá, sol, lá, si, dó
C, ad, mi, f, sun, there, si, c
Não era o eco das trombetas
It wasn't the echo of the trumpets
De josué e jericó
From joshua and jericho
Era um fole de oito baixos
It was a bellows of eight basses
A tocar numa noite de forró
Playing on a night of forró
(a fogueira tá queimando
(the fire is burning
Em homenagem a são joão
In honor of St. John
O forró já começou
The forró has already begun
Vamos gente rapa pé nesse salão)
Let's shave people standing in this hall)
Eu vi o sol ao meio-dia
I saw the sun at noon
No meio do chão do ceará
In the middle of the floor of ceará
Não era o coro dos arcanjos
It wasn't the archangel choir
Nem era a voz de jeová
Nor was jehovah's voice
Era uma cascavel armando o bote
It was a rattlesnake setting up the boat
Balançando o maracá
Swinging maracá
Vi um magrelo amarelado
I saw a skinny yellowish
Passando a perna no patrão
Passing the leg on the boss
Não foi ninguém da inglaterra
It wasn't anybody from England
Nem de paris, nem do japão
Neither from Paris nor from Japan
Era pedro malazarte
It was pedro malazarte
Era joão grilo e era cancan
It was john cricket and it was cancan
Vi uma mão fazer o barro
I saw a hand make the clay
Um homem forte
A strong man
Um homem nu
A naked man
Um homem branco como eu
A white man like me
Um homem preto como tu
A black man like you
Porém não foi a mão de deus
But it wasn't the hand of God
Foi vitalino de caruaru
It was vitalino de caruaru
