English Translation

Carnaval, madrugada

Carnival, dawn

Madrugada de carnaval

Dawn of carnival


Cai a chuva no asfalto da avenida

The rain falls on the asphalt of the avenue

E a escola, já começa a desfilar

And the school already starts to parade

Molha o surdo, molha o enredo, molha a vida

Wets the bass drum, wets the plot, wets life

Do sambista cujo o sonho é triunfar

Of the samba musician whose dream is to triumph

Cai o brilho do sapato do passista

The shine of the dancer's shoe fades

Mas o samba tem é que continuar

But the samba must go on


Os destaques se desmancham na avenida

The highlights dissolve on the avenue

E o esforço já é sobrenatural

And the effort is already supernatural

Mas a turma permanece reunida

But the group remains united

Um apito incentiva o pessoal

A whistle encourages everyone

E a escola já avança destemida

And the school advances fearless

É o samba enfrentando o temporal

It's the samba facing the storm


Madrugada,vai embora, vem o dia

Dawn, it goes away, day comes

E o sambista pensa em outro carnaval

And the samba musician thinks of another carnival

E a todos novamente desafia

And challenges everyone again

A vitória do seu samba é o ideal

The victory of their samba is the ideal

Chama o surdo e o pandeiro pra folia

Calls the bass drum and the pandeiro for the revelry

Alegria, alegria pessoal

Joy, joy, everyone

Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval

Carnival, carnival, carnival

Volta o surdo pra folia

The bass drum returns to the revelry

Alegria pessoal

Joy, everyone
