Felinto, Pedro Salgado, Guilherme, Fenelon
Cadê teus blocos famosos?
Where are your famous blocos?
Bloco das Flores, Andaluzas, Pirilampos, apôs-fum
Bloco das Flores, Andaluzas, Pirilampos, post-smoke
Dos carnavais saudosos
From the nostalgic carnivals
Na alta madrugada
In the late dawn
O coro entoava
The choir would sing
Do bloco a marcha-regresso
From the bloco, the march in reverse
E era o sucesso dos tempos ideais
And it was the success of ideal times
Do velho Raul Moraes
Of the old Raul Moraes
Adeus, adeus minha gente
Goodbye, goodbye my people
Que já cantamos bastante
We have sung enough
E Recife adormecia
And Recife would fall asleep
Ficava a sonhar
Staying to dream
Ao som da triste melodia
To the sound of the sad melody
