Carnavália [English translation]

Come to my ala

That tooday our Samba School will parade

Come make some history

'Cause today is a glory day right here

Come celebrate

Make quite a shock to nobody

Come fall in love with me

I'll also fall in love with you

Let's go to the avenue

Parade to life, make some carnival

In Portela³ there is Mocidade¹³

Imperatriz³

In Império³ there is

A Vila* that is so happy

Beija-Flor³, come see

The flag-bearer

Mangueira³ has girls of Tradição³

As I feel the beat coming even closer

Just as I'm rehearsing so that I can touch you

The repinique has sounded, the surdo² has listened

And even my corasamborim

The cuíca groaned

Was it me

When she passed past me

Lá lá lá lá lá lá lá lá lá lá

Where?
