My Birthplace
My birthplace
Serves as a road to Ogum and Ia1
There you can hear samba music even in the morning
And people are giggling in each of the building's floors
My birthplace
Is a place where people work hard
And where people dream of a better world
And where there's beer to celebrate
My birthplace
Has its myths and its light beings
And it's near Oswaldo Cruz,
Cascadura, Vaz Lobo and Irajá 2
At my birthplace
People smile peacefully and pleasantly
And it's nice to say that its name
Is Madureira, oh yeah
Is Madureira, oh yeah

Is Madureira, oh yeah
Is Madureira, oh yeah
Oh, what a nice place
I remember
The lovers I had around there
It's hard to forget them
A sweet place
That will be forever in my heart
And that makes the poets feel inspired
To sing and compose
Oh, my birthplace
Who didn't see Aunt Eulália dancing there?
And Grandma Maria blessing the yard
And people still dance Jongo3 under the moonlight
There are many things to tell people
About my birthplace
It's hard to know when should we stop
It's Madureira, oh yeah
It's Madureira, oh yeah
On each corner there's Pagode4 and a bar
In Madureira
Império and Portela5 also come from
From Madureira
And at Mercadão6 you can buy
For a bargain you'll receive
A caress, a dream if you want to dream
In Madureira
And whoever says so, can arrive
We can play some card games
And billiards as well, so time can pass by
In Madureira
And I can even bet a little money
In groups of ten, a hundred and a thousand
Around its seven corners I'll chase you
In Madureira
In Madureira
In Madureira
