Zé do Caroço

In the loudspeaker service
From the Pau da Bandeira hill
The one warning is Zé do Caroço
That tomorrow will cause a stir
Alerting the entire favela

Oh, how I wish it was in Mangueira
That there was another Zé do Caroço
To tell this guy once and for all
Carnival is not this colossal
Our school is roots, is wood

But it's the Pau da Bandeira Hill
From a true Vila Isabel
And Zé do Caroço works
And Zé do Caroço fights
And haggles the price of the market

And when Brazilian television
Destroys everyone with its soap opera
That's when Zé speaks out
He makes a profound speech
He wants to see the good of the favela

A new leader is being born
In the Pau da Bandeira hill
A new leader is being born
In the Pau da Bandeira hill
In the Pau da Bandeira hill
In the Pau da Bandeira hill
