Lyrics
Vão acabar com a Praça Onze
Não vai haver mais Escola de Samba, não vai
Chora o tamborim
Chora o morro inteiro
Favela, Salgueiro
Mangueira, Estação Primeira
Guardai os vossos pandeiros, guardai
Porque a Escola de Samba não sai
Adeus, minha Praça Onze, adeus
Já sabemos que vais desaparecer
Leva contigo a nossa recordação
Mas ficarás eternamente em nosso coração
E algum dia nova praça nós teremos
E o teu passado cantaremos
Lyrics translation
They're going to end Eleven Square.
There will be no more Samba school, will not
Cry the tambourine
Cry the whole hill
Favela, Willow
Hose, First Station
Guard your tambourines, guard
Because Samba school doesn't come out
Goodbye, my eleven square, goodbye
We already know you're gonna disappear.
Take with you our memory
But you'll stay forever in our heart
And someday New Square we'll have
And your past we'll sing
