San Joao - The Monsoon Jamboree

With an age old aim at revelry
is this fiesta during the rains

With fun frolic and gaiety
the social awareness it campaigns

By the creek adjoining the church square
it's akin to a carnival fest

When flotilla of colorful country boats
sail past in their regal best

Music blaring out at the loudest
with ethnic flavors from the past

Touch nostalgia and age-old magic
as if trying to create and cast

San Joao, San Joao, Viva San Joao! !
Sung In reverberating repeats

A choral reminder to one and all
ambling through Siolim Streets
