Vila Isabel, it doesn't rain for nothing,Vila Isabel, não chove à toa,
Heavy rain in the village is drizzle!chuva forte lá na vila é garoa!

But it can't rain thereMas lá não pode chover
Because the samba is therePorque o samba está lá
It's a pagode in the squareÉ um pagode na praça
It's another one in the BoulevardÉ outro no Boulevard
In the little yard as wellNo terreirinho também
There are people drummingtem gente a batucar
And in the garden, very well,e no jardim, muito bem,
There are always people singing, look theretem sempre gente a cantar, olha aí

It's drizzle!É garoa!
It's drizzle!É garoa!
This rain in the villageEssa chuva na vila ela
Is drizzle!É garoa!
It's drizzle!É garoa!

Going up the quarrySubindo pela pedreira
I reach Mangueiraeu chego lá na Mangueira
I'm at the top of the hillestou no alto do morro
I'm at the flagpoletô lá no pau da bandeira
Going down a little moredescendo mais um pouquinho
I reach the bamboo grovechego lá no bambuzal
Where the guys are coolonde a rapaziada é maneira
What a cool trickeryque malandragem legal
Hold on!pertaí!

It's drizzle!É garoa!
It's drizzle!É garoa!
When it rains in the villageQuando chove na vila ela
It's drizzle!É garoa!
It's drizzle!É garoa!
