Full lyrics

Salve o meu Rio De Janeiro

O minha São Sebastião

Salve o meu Rio vovô

Do tempo do imperador

Meu Rio quatrocentão


Meu Rio antigo

Meu Rio rococo

Meu Rio amigo

Rio de Janeiro antigo

Do tempo da minha avó


Do Lampião de calçada

Da bohemia afamada

Da praça 11, da Lapa

Do velho Estacio de Sá

Tenentes do diabo

Findi anos do passado

Por onde andará


Ari Barroso, Lamartine, o professor

Cacê Noel, cadê senhor

A velha guarda que tem nossa tradição

Ranca a sua homenagem ao Rio quatrocentão

Translation

Hail my Rio de Janeiro

Oh my Saint Sebastian

Hail my Grandpa Rio

From the time of the emperor

My four-hundred-year-old Rio


My old Rio

My rococo Rio

My friendly Rio

Old Rio de Janeiro

From my grandmother's time


Of the street's Lampião

Of the famous bohemia

Of Praça 11, of Lapa

Of old Estácio de Sá

Lieutenants of the devil

The bygone years

Where might they be now?


Ari Barroso, Lamartine, the professor

Cacê Noel, where is sir?

The old guard that holds our tradition

Pays its homage to the four-hundred-year-old Rio
