Sempre Mangueira
Nelson Cavaquinho
Always Mangueira
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It was Mangueira that arrived
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It was Mangueira that arrived
Mangueira is a cradle
Of legends like me
Portela had its share too
With Paulo who passed away
But the samba player
Lives on forever
In our hearts
The verses of Mangueira are humble
But there's always strength in expression
Our shacks are castles
In our imagination
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It was Mangueira that arrived
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It was Mangueira that arrived
