Verde mar de navegar
Capiba
Green sea to sail
What beat is this from the drummer?
It's the beat of our highness
And there is no other beat
Oh sir, but it's just sadness
Where is Crowned Lion
Where is Shining Cambinda
Where is Fort's Cross
Elephant Maracatu
Look at the sky look at the sea
Green sea to sail green sea
"Passion for Pernambuco for the P of Portugal
For Olinda for Holland for Mauricio de Nassau
For Recife magic on carnival day"
