Lyrics
Dentro das alas, nações em festa
Reis e rainhas cantar
Ninguém se cala louvando as glórias
Que a história contou
Marinheiros, capitães, negros sobas
Rei do congo, a rainha e seu povo
As mucamas e os escravos no canavial
Amadês senhor de engenho e sinhá
Traz aqui maracatu nossa escola
Do Recife nós trazemos com alma
A nação maracatu, nosso tema geral
Vem do negro esta festa de reis
Lyrics translation
Inside the wings, nations in celebration
Kings and Queens sing
No one shuts up praising the glories
That the story told
Sailors, captains, Blacks sobas
King of congo, The Queen and her people
The maids and the slaves in the sugarcane
Beloved Lord of engenho and Sinha
Bring here maracatu our school
From the Reef we bring with soul
The maracatu nation, our general theme
Come from the negro this feast of Kings
