Nossa Resenha Lyrics in English Os Garotin , Caetano Veloso

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nossa Resenha by Os Garotin from Portuguese to English.
Come to my side
I'll meet you in a hug
I gathered some cash
So we can roam around
Our hangout
Nobody can stop it
From Leme to Penha
Your step gives me direction
On foot, by van or by subway
How about a stroll in Lapa?
Tonight at Circo Voador
There's Mart'nália's samba
On foot, by van or by subway
How about a stroll in Lapa?
Tonight at Circo Voador
There's Mart'nália's samba
There's February, there's beauty
Funk and charm
There's tradition in carnival
There's good people on the avenue
There's illusion, there's heavy beat
There's art and nostalgia
There's heart, there's sun, there's sound
And the Redeemer who guides us
On foot, by van or by subway
How about a stroll in Lapa?
Tonight at Circo Voador
There's Mart'nália's samba
On foot, by van or by subway
How about a stroll in Lapa?
Tonight at Circo Voador
There's Mart'nália's samba
Beautiful, your mouth revved me up
Your fault, now I wanna sightsee in Rio
After this little samba, let's explore Brazil
Let's go to Bahia in my uncle's Beetle
I was around, sorry to say
My Rio de Janeiro is merrier with you, girl
I only ask that you stay for the city outing
Take your best outfit off the hanger now
On foot, by van or by subway
How about a stroll in Lapa?
Tonight at Circo Voador
There's Mart'nália's samba
On foot, by van or by subway
How about a stroll in Lapa?
Tonight at Circo Voador
There's Mart'nália's samba
There's Mart'nália's samba
There's Mart'nália's samba
There's Mart'nália's samba
There's Mart'nália's samba

SONG MEANING

Nossa Resenha feels like an open-air group hug that stretches across Rio de Janeiro. The singer grabs a few coins, calls friends over with a warm embrace, then sets off to explore the city — whether a pé, de van ou de metrô (on foot, by van, or by subway). From the beachy calm of Leme to the hillside energy of Penha, the night flows toward Lapa’s famous arches and the legendary Circo Voador, where Mart’nália’s samba keeps everyone dancing. Each stop along the way turns into a mini-celebration that no one can stop.

The lyrics read like a postcard filled with rhythm: Carnival in February, booming funk beats, nostalgic art, sunlit streets, and Christ the Redeemer watching over it all. Amid the city’s pulse, there is romance too — one smile motivates the singer to play tourist in his own hometown and even plan a road trip up to Bahia in his uncle’s little VW. Featuring Caetano Veloso’s voice, the song becomes a joyful love letter to Brazilian culture, reminding us that the best adventures happen when good music, good company, and the endless heartbeat of Rio meet in the same night.
