Sei Lá Mangueira

Seen from above
It looks more like a sky on the ground
I don't know
In Mangueira, poetry spread like a sea
And the beauty of the place, to understand
You have to find yourself
That life is not just what you see
It's a little more
That eyes can't perceive
And hands don't dare touch
And feet refuse to step on
I don't know, I don't know

I don't know if all the beauty I speak of
Only comes from my heart
In Mangueira, poetry
In a constant up and down
Walks barefoot teaching
A new way for us to live
To sing, to dream, and to suffer
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Mangueira is so big
That it can't even be explained
