Full lyrics
Ê, Santa Cruz
Ê, Santa Cruz
Ai, eu falei Santa Cruz
Que recebe o último raio de luz
Recebe no trilho o brilho
Do último raio de luz
Oito vagões conduzindo esse trem
Rumo à Central do Brasil
Mas acredite, tem gente, senhor
Gente que ainda não viu
Santa Cruz!
Ê, Santa Cruz
Ê, Santa Cruz
Ai, eu falei Santa Cruz
Que recebe o último raio de luz
Quem não conhece pensa no Morro do Cruz
O temeroso faz logo o sinal da cruz
Pro perigoso, por Guaratiba que eu fui
Em Sepetiba, samba de Arlindo Cruz
Tem até quem confunda com Oswaldo Cruz
Mas o malandro segue o último raio de luz
Santa Cruz!
Ê, Santa Cruz
Ê, Santa Cruz
Ai, eu falei Santa Cruz
Que recebe o último raio de luz
Translation
Hey, Santa Cruz
Hey, Santa Cruz
Oh, I mentioned Santa Cruz
That receives the last ray of light
It receives on the tracks the shine
Of the last ray of light
Eight wagons conducting this train
Heading to Central do Brasil
But believe me, there are people, sir
People who still haven't seen
Santa Cruz!
Hey, Santa Cruz
Hey, Santa Cruz
Oh, I mentioned Santa Cruz
That receives the last ray of light
Whoever doesn't know thinks of Morro do Cruz
The fearful immediately makes the sign of the cross
For the dangerous, through Guaratiba I went
In Sepetiba, samba by Arlindo Cruz
Some even confuse it with Oswaldo Cruz
But the street-smart follows the last ray of light
Santa Cruz!
Hey, Santa Cruz
Hey, Santa Cruz
Oh, I mentioned Santa Cruz
That receives the last ray of light
