É a máquina do tempo e, na velocidade, não tem igual
It's the time machine, and at speed, it has no equal
E num grande torneio de caráter
And in a great tournament of character
Internacional de Fórmula 1
International Formula 1
O nosso brasileiro foi convidado pra participar
Our Brazilian was invited to participate
Na sua condição de campeão, de campeão mundial
In his condition as a champion, a world champion
Na nossa praça de esportes
In our sports square
Interlagos, na nossa capital
Interlagos, in our capital
São Paulo, terra da garoa
São Paulo, land of drizzle
Com calor surpreendente de 38 graus
With a surprising heat of 38 degrees
Atenção, atenção
Attention, attention
Foi dada a largada principal, o nosso Emerson na frente
The main start was given, our Emerson in the lead
Atingindo a velocidade máxima que seu carro tem
Reaching the maximum speed that his car has
Na Curva do Laranja ele parou
At Orange Curve, he stopped
Pra tomar uma vitamina
To take a vitamin
Na Curva do S, quem não sabia escrever
At S Curve, those who couldn't write
Se deu mal, saiu da pista
Got in trouble, went off the track
Na Curva do Cotovelo ele saiu-se
At Elbow Curve, he managed
Maravilhosamente bem
Marvelously well
Na Curva do Sargento ele comandava os competidores
At Sergeant Curve, he commanded the competitors
Como general
Like a general
E a turma de fora, espantada, assistindo à corrida
And the foreign crowd, astonished, watching the race
Se orgulhava e vibrava
Was proud and cheered
Com a vitória do nosso campeão
With the victory of our champion
Vem chegando a reta de chegada
The finish straight is approaching
A reta final
The final straight
O nosso Emerson na frente vem despontando
Our Emerson is emerging in the lead
E todo mundo gritava com grande emoção
And everyone shouted with great emotion
Salve, Emerson, 73
Hail, Emerson, 73
Salve, Emerson, 73
Hail, Emerson, 73
Salve, Emerson, 73
Hail, Emerson, 73
Salve, Emerson, 73
Hail, Emerson, 73
