Marcha do Bairro Alto
Alexandra
Bairro Alto March
Bairro Alto noble and braggart
Now seen without any alarm
Lost its way of provocation
And already accepts without quarrel
Those who go there
Sing O Bairro Alto Sing
Sing and enchant
With your balloon
Prove O Bairro Alto Prove
That there is no verse
Without heart
Shine O Bairro Alto Shine
And amaze
From end to end
Pass O Bairro Alto Pass
Full of grace
Showing who you are
To Bairro Alto, now everyone goes
To hear the fado almost by assault
The past is gone, but the tradition
Remains alive, always festive
Without slackness
