Hino de Exaltação a Mangueira
Chico Buarque
Anthem of Exaltation to Mangueira
Mangueira has not died, nor will it die
This will not happen
Have your name in history
Mangueira, you are a scene covered in glory
Mangueira, your scenery is beautiful
That nature created, oh-oh
The hill with its zinc shacks
When dawn breaks, what splendor
Everyone knows you from afar
By the sound of your tambourines
And the beating of your drum
It's here, oh-oh-oh
The hose arrived, oh-oh
It's here, oh-oh-oh
The hose arrived, oh-oh
Mangueira, your glorious past
It is recorded in history
Your flag's color is green and pink
To show these people
That samba is there in Mangueira
Mangueira, your scenery is beautiful
That nature created, oh-oh
The hill with its zinc shacks
When dawn breaks, what splendor
Everyone knows you from afar
By the sound of your tambourine
And the beating of your drum
It's here, oh-oh-oh
The hose arrived, oh-oh
It's here, oh-oh-oh
The hose has arrived, oh-oh
