It was beautiful to see
Portela1
The Sun rising up
Elegant dawning
Her2 song echoed
Through the promenade
Hey hey
All hail samba, all hail her
Is there anyone who never got lost in so many carnivals?
Such a good feeling
Dream, happiness and peace
That seduced me
Caused a deep emotion
I traveled over the wings3
Comforted my heart
It was beautiful to see

A thousand tales to tell
A thousand songs to sing, so much beauty

So many yards in bloom
Tradition in love
She2 is all about nature
It was beautiful
It was beautiful to see
