Praça Onze
Herivelto Martins
Praça Onze
They will end Praça Onze
There will be no more Samba School, it won't
The tambourine cries
The whole hill cries
Favela, Salgueiro
Mangueira, Estação Primeira
Keep your tambourines, keep
Because the Samba School won't parade
Goodbye, my Praça Onze, goodbye
We already know you will disappear
Take with you our memory
But you will remain eternally in our hearts
And someday we will have a new square
And we will sing about your past
