Lá em Mangueira

There in Mangueira
I learned to tap dance
There in Mangueira
Is where samba has its place
It was up on the hill
Moonlight and a shack
There I liked someone
Who treated me well
I gave my heart (x2)

On the hill we
Live the life we want
On the hill we
Love a woman
And when we
Leave the hill and go away
Almost always cry
Cry, cry

There in Mangueira
I learned to tap dance
There in Mangueira
Is where samba has its place
It was up on the hill
Moonlight and a shack
There I liked someone
Who treated me well
I gave my heart
