Derradeira Estação [English translation]

Sea of slopes

Crossroads of civilization

Each sea bluff is a nation

To your way

With robber

Washerwomen, honor, tradition

Boundaries, heavy munition

Pelted São Sebastião

Cloud my vision

In the night of the great

Frenzied bonfire

I want to see the Mangueira

Final station

I want to hear your batucada1, ai, ai

Side river without a shore

Citizens

Totally crazy

With carloads of reason

To your way

Of shorts

With flags without explanation

Careers of damned passion

Pelted São Sebastião

Cloud my vision

In the night of the great

Frenzied bonfire

I want to see the Mangueira

Final station

I want to hear your batucada, ai, ai
