Full lyrics

Homem da meia noite

A mulher do dia

O menino da tarde trazendo alegria


Seu sorriso e o seu gingado

Subindo e descendo a ladeira


Mostro ao mundo a alegria do povo

Forró lhe dá cultura brasileira


Homem da meia noite

A mulher do dia

O menino da tarde trazendo alegria


Quero vê os bonecos de Olinda

Maracatuando no forró


Ribeira, praça do jacaré

Praça do Carmo e a rua do sol


Homem da meia noite

A mulher do dia

O menino da tarde trazendo alegria


Mistura frevo com o forró

Lá vem pitombeira e elefante


Salve Olinda e a nossa cultura

Silvo Botelho e os bonecos gigantes

Translation

Man of midnight

The woman of the day

The boy of the afternoon bringing joy


Your smile and your sway

Going up and down the slope


I show the world the joy of the people

Forró gives you Brazilian culture


Man of midnight

The woman of the day

The boy of the afternoon bringing joy


I want to see the Olinda dolls

Maracatuing in the forró


Ribeira, jacaré square

Carmo square and the sun street


Man of midnight

The woman of the day

The boy of the afternoon bringing joy


Mixing frevo with forró

Here comes pitombeira and elephant


Hail Olinda and our culture

Silvo Botelho and the giant dolls
