Cartão de Identidade

Showing my identity
I can prove the truth to these people
How I belong to Mocidade Independente
Good evening, gentlemen, sambistas and composers
And even a bachelor, a bachelor
Samba is my ideal
I'm a native from Padre Miguel, from Padre Miguel
I'm from the time of the Federal District
When Rio de Janeiro was the capital
I'm a true-born carioca born in a cradle of samba
In the capital of samba
