My Place

My place
Is the path of Ogum and Iansã
There's samba until morning
A sway on each floor

My place
Is surrounded by struggle and sweat
Hope for a better world
And beer to celebrate

My place
Has its myths and Beings of Light
It's very close to Osvaldo Cruz
Cascadura, Vaz Lobo, and Irajá

My place
Is smile, peace, and pleasure
Its name is sweet to say
Madureira, iá laiá
Madureira, iá laiá

My place
Is the path of Ogum and Iansã
There's samba until morning
A sway on each floor

My place
Is surrounded by struggle and sweat
Hope for a better world
And beer to celebrate

My place
Has its myths and Beings of Light
It's very close to Osvaldo Cruz
Cascadura, Vaz Lobo, and Irajá

My place
Is smile, peace, and pleasure
Its name is sweet to say
Madureira, iá laiá
Madureira, iá laiá

Oh, my place
Nostalgia makes me remember
The loves I had there
It's hard to forget

Sweet place
That is eternal in my heart
And brings inspiration to poets
To sing and write

Oh, my place
Who hasn't seen Aunt Eulália dance?
Grandma Maria bless the yard?
And there's still jongo in the moonlight

Oh, my place
There are a thousand things to say
The hard part is knowing how to finish
Madureira, iá laiá
Madureira, iá laiá
Madureira

On every corner, a pagode, a bar
In Madureira
Império and Portela are also from there
In Madureira

And at the Mercadão you can buy
For a bargain, you'll take
A caress, a dream for those who want to dream
In Madureira

And whoever is up for it, can even come
There's ronda game, hillbilly and billiards
Buraco, sueca to pass the time
In Madureira

And I can even place a bet
In the group, dozen, hundred, and thousand
I'll surround you on all 7 sides
In Madureira

And lalalaia, lalaia, lalaia
And lalalaia, lalaia, lalaia
And lalalaia, lalaia, lalaia
In Madureira

And lalalaia, lalaia, lalaia
And lalalaia, lalaia, lalaia
And lalalaia, lalaia, lalaia
In Madureira

Iá, laiá, in Madureira
