Tradição Pé no Chão [English translation]

I gave a hard blow of nostalgia to my tambourine

I watered the cloth of the cuíca 1

I gave my break to the time of the song

And sang my whole life without excitement on the avenue

Go keep the tradition

Go, my group of sadness and feet on the ground

I made a flag with my regret

Your falseness was released as its highlights

Of our mishappenings I made my plot

Of the old sound of my surda 2 I divided my verses

Go keep the tradition

Go, my group of sadness and feet on the ground

On the platinelas of the pandeiro 3 I put the quietude

The last rehearsal is scheduled on any corner

I stained the green of our flag

The day of the parade is scheduled to be on Wednesday

Go keep the tradition

Go, my group of sadness and feet on the ground
