Dança das Cores

I play bull like a child plays
Tissue paper at the tip of the spear
In the heart the red and the green of hope
Of this immense jungle!

Crepe paper flowers on the hat's crown
Beautiful girl, velvet bull, moon in the sky
Dance of colors of my ox-bumbá!

It's red and white, it's red!
It's red and white, it's red!
Dance of colors of my ox-bumbá
