Há muito tempo nas águas da guanabara
Long ago in the waters of guanabara
O dragão do mar reapareceu
The sea dragon reappeared
Na figura de um bravo feiticeiro
In the figure of a brave sorcerer
A quem a história não esqueceu
To whom history has not forgotten
Conhecido como o navegante negro
Known as the black navigator
Tinha a dignidade de um mestre-sala
Had the dignity of a master-room
E ao acenar pelo mar na alegria das regatas
And as he waved across the sea in the joy of the regattas
Foi saudado no porto pelas mocinhas francesas
He was greeted in the harbor by the French girls
Jovens polacas e por batalhões de mulatas
Polish youth and battalions of mulattos
Rubras cascatas
Rubras cascades
Jorravam das costas dos santos entre cantos e chibatas
They spouted from the backs of the saints between chants and lashes
Inundando o coração do pessoal do porão
Flooding the heart of basement staff
Que, a exemplo do feiticeiro, gritava então
Who, like the sorcerer, then screamed
Glória aos piratas
Glory to pirates
Às mulatas, às sereias
Mulattos, mermaids
Glória à farofa
Glory to farofa
À cachaça, às baleias
To cachaça, to whales
Glória a todas as lutas inglórias
Glory to all inglorious struggles
Que através da nossa história não esquecemos jamais
That through our history we never forget
Salve o navegante negro
Save the black navigator
Que tem por monumento as pedras pisadas do cais
Which is monument to the stepped stones of the pier
Mas salve
But save
Salve o navegante negro
Save the black navigator
Que tem por monumento as pedras pisadas do cais
Which is monument to the stepped stones of the pier
Mas faz muito tempo
But it's been a long time
