Sei Lá Mangueira

Seen from above
More like a sky on the ground
Whatnot
In Mangueira, poetry spread like a sea
And the beauty of the place, to understand
You have to find yourself
That life is not just what you see
It's a little more
That the eyes cannot perceive
And hands dare not touch
And the feet refuse to step
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know

I don't know if all the beauty I speak of
Just come out of my heart
In Mangueira the poetry
In a constant up and down
Walks barefoot teaching
A new way for us to live
Of dreaming, of thinking, of suffering
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
The hose is so big
That doesn't even need an explanation
