These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Me sinto pisando
I feel like I'm stepping
Um chão de esmeraldas
An emerald floor
Quando levo meu coração
When I take my heart
À Mangueira
To Mangueira
Sob uma chuva de rosas
Under a shower of roses
Meu sangue jorra das veias
My blood gushes from my veins
E tinge um tapete
And dye a rug
Pra ela sambar
For her to samba
É a realeza dos bambas
It's the royalty of the bambas
Que quer se mostrar
Who wants to show off
Soberba, garbosa
Superb, elegant
Minha escola é um cata-vento a girar
My school is a spinning weather vane
É verde, é rosa
It's green, it's pink
Abre alas para a Mangueira passar
Open the way for Mangueira to pass
