Lyrics
A Vila desce colorida
Para mostrar no carnaval
Quatro séculos de modas e costumes
O moderno e o tradicional
Negros, brancos, índios
Eis a miscigenação
Ditando a moda
Fixando os costumes
Os rituais e a tradição
E surgem tipos brasileiros
Saveiros e batedor
O carioca e o gaúcho
Jangadeiro e cantador
Lá vem o negro
Vejam as mucamas
Também vem com o branco
Elegantes damas
Desfilas modas no Rio
Costumes do norte
E a dança do sul
Capoeira, desafios
Frevos e maracatu
Laiaraiá, ô
Laiaraiá
Festa da menina-moça
Na tribo dos carajás
Candomblés lá da Bahia
Onde baixam os orixás
É a Vila que desce!
Lyrics translation
The village descends colorful
To show at Carnival
Four centuries of fashions and Customs
The modern and the traditional
Blacks, whites, Indians
Here is the miscegenation
Dictating fashion
Fixing the customs
Rituals and tradition
And Brazilian types arise
Saveiros and scout
The carioca and the Gaucho
Rafter and singer
Here Comes The negro
Look at the maidens.
Also comes with white
Elegant ladies
Fashion shows in Rio
Northern customs
And the southern dance
Capoeira, challenges
Frevos and maracatu
Laiaraiá, O
Laiaraiá
Girl-girl party
In the tribe of the Carajas
Candombles there from Bahia
Where they lower the orixas
It's the village coming down!
