Si tu vas à Rio [English translation]

If you go to Rio

Don't forget to go up there

In a small village

Hidden under the wild flowers

On a slope of a hill

It's in Madureira

You'll see the people from Rio

Going out of the little houses

To go to the feast

To the feast of sambas.

And you'll see the girls of thin waist

Climbing the paths of the hills

They go forward in small steps

And the drums

In this joyful noise

Taking the strange float

Of the schools of sambas

Who prepare the ball

And they leave for the Carnival

To repeat the rhythm

Of the craziest dances

The one of Madureira.

And you'll see the girls of thin waste

Climbing the paths of the hills

They go forward by little steps

And the drums

In this joyful noise

Taking the strange float

Of the schools of sambas.

If you go to Rio

Don't forget to go up there

In a small village

Hidden under the wild flowers

On a slope of a hill

If you go to Rio...
