Full lyrics
O verão está chegando
E com ele o carnaval
Salve Piaba de Ouro
meu maracatu rural
Salve Olinda portuguesa
E Maurício de Nassau
Paixão pelo Pernambuco
Pelo P de Portugal
Por Olinda, por Holanda
Por Maurício de Nassau
Pelo Recife, magia nos
dias de carnaval
Translation
Summer is coming
And with it, Carnival
Hail Golden Piaba
My rural maracatu
Hail Portuguese Olinda
And Maurício de Nassau
Passion for Pernambuco
For the P of Portugal
For Olinda, for Holland
For Maurício de Nassau
For Recife, magic in the
days of Carnival
