Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Carnavália by Marisa Monte from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Vem pra minha ala
come to my ward
Que hoje a nossa escola vai desfilar
That today our school will parade
Vem fazer história
Come make history
Que hoje é dia de glória nesse lugar
That today is a day of glory in this place
Vem comemorar
come celebrate
Escandalizar ninguém
scandalize anyone
Vem me namorar
come date me
Vou te namorar também
I'll date you too
Vamos pra avenida
Let's go to the avenue
Desfilar a vida
parade life
A Portela tem Mocidade
Portela has Youth
No Império tem
In the Empire there is
Uma Vila tão feliz
Such a happy village
Beija-Flor vem ver
Beija-Flor come see
A porta-bandeira
the flag bearer
Na Mangueira tem morena da Tradição
In Mangueira there are morena da Tradição
Sinto a batucada se aproximar
I feel the beat approaching
Estou ensaiado para te tocar
I'm rehearsed to touch you
Repique tocou
repeat played
O surdo escutou
the deaf heard
E o meu corasamborim
And my corasamborim
Quando ela passou por mim
When she passed me
Lá lá lá lá lá lá lá lá lá lá lá lá
There there there there there there there there there there there
Lá lá lá lá lá lá lá lá lá lá lá lá
There there there there there there there there there there there
Me diga, aonde?
Tell me where?
