Hino de Exaltação a Mangueira
Chico Buarque
Anthem of Exaltation to Mangueira
Mangueira has not died nor will die
This will not happen
It has its name in history
Mangueira you are a scene covered in glory
Mangueira your scene is a beauty
That nature created
The hill with its zinc shacks
When it dawns, what splendor
Everyone knows you from afar
By the sound of your tambourines
And the beating of your drum
Here comes, oh, oh, oh, oh
Mangueira has arrived, oh, oh
Mangueira your past of glory
Is engraved in history
Green and pink is the color of your flag
To show these people
That samba is there in Mangueira
Mangueira your scene is a beauty
That nature created
The hill with its zinc shacks
When it dawns, what splendor
Everyone knows you from afar
By the sound of your tambourines
And the beating of your drum
Here comes, oh, oh, oh, oh
Mangueira has arrived, oh, oh
