Lyrics
Vai clareando o dia, vai…
E vem o sol raiando lá no céu
Para findar nossa alegria
A cuíca lá no alto, ronca a noite inteira
Embalando aquela gente, lá do morro de Mangueira
E o samba se prolonga, até alta madrugada
Mas o dia vem raiando, vai cessando a batucada
(Ôi, vem, vem, vem)
P’rá gozar a mocidade, fiz um samba no terreiro
E tinha gente da Favela, de Mangueira e do Salgueiro
E até mesmo da cidade, tinha gente que é dotô
E que sambavam de verdade, p’rá mostrar o seu valô
(Ôi, vem, vem, vem)
Lyrics translation
Go brightening the day, go…
And comes the sun shining there in the sky
To end our joy
The Cuica up there snores all night
Packing those people, there from the Mangueira Hill
And the samba is prolonged, until high Dawn
But the day is dawning, the batucada is ceasing
(OI, come, come, come)
P'ra enjoy the youth, I did a samba in the yard
And there were people from the Favela, from the hose and from the Willow
And even from the city, there were people who are gifted
And that sambavam of truth, will show its value
(OI, come, come, come)
