Girassol
Cidade Negra
Sunflower
In favor of the community
That waits for the parade to pass
No one stays in loneliness
Embarks with their pains
Far from their place
In favor of the community
That waits for the parade to pass
No one stays in loneliness
The parade will take you
No one stays in loneliness
The truth proves that time is the master
Of the two destinies, of the two destinies
Since to be a man one must have
The greatness of a child, of a child
In the heart of those who make war
A yellow flower will be born
Like a sunflower
Like a sunflower
Like a yellow sunflower, yellow
Every day, every hour, in the beat of evolution
The harmony of the samba dancer will enchant the avenue
And all the people will smile, smile, smile
And all the people will smile, smile, smile
The truth proves that time is the master
Of the two destinies, of the two destinies
Since to be a man one must have
The greatness of a child, of a child
In the heart of those who make war
A yellow flower will be born
Like a sunflower
Like a sunflower
Like a yellow sunflower, yellow
