Recife, Minha Cidade

Hey! Come here why I want to show you
Hey! The my town, the my city
Hey! Recife has a heart
Hey! It has a lot of heat, a lot emotion

The people here like to sing
It has religion, it likes to pray
It has Christianity, it has Candomblé
It has a lot of cachaça and a lot of women

It has Luiz Gonzaga, the King of Baião
It has Alceu Valença, Anunciação
And in Olinda, the Carnival
It's the best of the world
It's sensational

Recife has a thousand charms
It's, It's a little piece of Brazil
It's a tropical paradise
It has, It has a cultural archive

It's the Brazilian Venice
It's cut by many rivers
The capital of my Pernambuco
Captaincy that gave more profit

It's the city that saw rise
Three great heroes of our nation
The black man Henrique, the white man Negreiros
The Indian Felipe and Camarão

From Porto Alegre until Boa Vista
From Porto Velho until Natal
In diagonal until Fortaleza
Brazil, I know, has a lot of beauty

But I'm from Recife and I must to sing
The my city, the my place
You don't understand if you don't want
It has a lot of cachaça and a lot of women
