Pranto do Poeta [English translation]

In Mangueira

When a poet

Dies

Everyone cries

I live without a worry in Mangueira because

I know someone will be there to cry when I die

But weeping in Mangueira

Is so different

It is a weeping without handkerchiefs

That gladdens people

I'll have someone to cry for me

Through the pandeiro or through the tambourine
