Zé do Caroço

In the loudspeaker service
From the flagpole hill
The warning comes from Zé do Caroço
Tomorrow will cause a stir
Alerting the whole favela
How I wish it was in Mangueira
That there was another Zé do Caroço (Caroço, Caroço)
To tell this guy once and for all
Carnival is not this grandeur
Our school is root is wood
But it's the flagpole hill
From a true Vila Isabel
It's where Zé do Caroço works
Zé do Caroço battles
And haggles the price of the fair
And at the time when Brazilian television
Distracts everyone with its soap opera
That's when Zé speaks out
And makes a profound speech
He wants to see the good of the favela
A new leader is born
In the flagpole hill
A new leader is born
In the flagpole hill
In the flagpole hill
In the flagpole hill
