Corri pra Ver
Ouvi cantando assim
A majestade do samba
Chegou chegou
Corri pra ver
Pra ver quem era
Chegando lá
Era a Portela
Era a Portela do seu natal
Ganhando mais um carnaval
Era a Portela do Claudionor
Portela é meu grande amor
Era rainha de Oswaldo Cruz
Portela muito nos seduz
Foi mestre Paulo seu fundador
Nosso poeta e professor
Run to See
I heard singing like this
The majesty of samba
It’s here, it’s here
I ran to see
To see who it was
When I got there
It was Portela
It was Portela from your hometown
Winning another carnival
It was Portela of Claudionor
Portela is my great love
It was the queen of Oswaldo Cruz
Portela really seduces us
It was Master Paulo, its founder
Our poet and teacher
