I'm the heart of Northeastern folklore
I'm Mateus e Bastião do Boi Bumbá
I'm a Master Vitalino's doll
Dancing the ciranda in Itamaracá
I'm a Carlos Pena Filho's verse
In a Capiba's frevo, to the sound of the Orquestra Armorial
I'm Capibaribe in a João Cabral's book
I'm a Mamulengo of São Bento do Una
Coming to a rural Maracatu
I'm an Ariano Suassuna's auto
In the middle of the Caruaru Fair
I'm Frei Caneca in the Pastoril do Faceta
Taking the Lira's flower to Nova Jerusalém
I'm Luiz Gonzaga, I am also from the mangrove
I'm Mameluco, I'm from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Northern Lion
I'm Mameluco, I'm from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Northern Lion
I'm Joaquim Cardoso's Macambira
A Pife band in the middle of the reed bed
On the night of the silent drum
I'm a Calunga reveling Carnival
I'm the joy descending from Olinda
The midnight man pulling the chord
I'm a Jangadeiro in the Jaboatão's party
I'm Mameluco, I'm from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Northern Lion
I'm Mameluco, I'm from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Northern Lion
I'm Mameluco, I'm from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Northern Lion
I'm Mameluco, I'm from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Northern Lion
I'm Mameluco, I'm from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Northern Lion
I'm Mameluco, I'm from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Northern Lion
I'm Mameluco, I'm from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Northern Lion
I'm Mameluco, I'm from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Northern Lion
