Não Deixe o Samba Morrer [English translation]

I’ll stay

Between the people, watching

My samba school winning or losing

One more carnival

Before I say goodbye

I leave to the youngest samba boy

My last wish

When I cannot walk

Anymore on the avenue

When my legs

Cannot stand

To bring my body

Together with my samba

My ring of bamba

I’ll give it to the one who deserves to use it

I’ll stay

Between the people, watching

My samba school winning or losing

One more carnival

Before I say goodbye

I leave to the youngest samba boy

My last wish

Don’t let the samba die

Don’t let the samba have an end

The ghetto was made of samba

Of samba for us to dance
