Carnaval de São Vicente [English translation]

I know São Vicente

Its cheerfulness and its flavour

But I didn't know

That during the carnival, it was even better

São Vicente is a little Brazil

Full of joy and colours

During these three wild days

There are no brawls, it is the carnival

A jubilation, to be found nowhere else

We have a little party

so peaceful

Do not hesitate,

You are welcome to enter

There will be plenty of food and drink

Today is the carnival day!
