Não deixe o Samba morrer [English translation]

When I am not able…

to go to the Sapucai

When my legs…

can not bear…

to carry my body…

to where my samba goes

Then, my anel de bamba,…

I will give it to someone who deserves to use

I will stay

in the midst of the people, watching

my school

to lose or win

one more carnival

Before I say goodbye

I leave with the young sambista

my last wish

Do not let the samba die

Do not let the samba end

The hill was made of samba

Samba, samba for us to dance
