O Canto da Cidade [English translation]

The color of this town

is me

The tune of this town

is mine

The guetto, the street, the faith

I go walking down

the beautiful town

The sound of the afoxe

and my strength... where does it come from?

Nobody can explain

This strength is beautiful

Uo o!

This is true love

Uo o!

You'll go wherever I go

Don't say you don't want me

Don't say you don't want me anymore

I am the silence in the night

I am the morning sun

A thousand times the world turns

But there's always a final line

I am the first to sing

I am the carnival
