Translation of the song lyrics Portela - Teresa Cristina

Portela (original)

Portela
Já disseram que o teu manto
Pintadinho de azul e branco
Lembra as cores do céu
Se passas na avenida decidida
Trocas de sambar com a vida
És de tirar o chapéu
As cores que escolheste com vaidade
E exibes na cidade
Sempre chamando atenção
São cores que carregas na bandeira
Que ilumina a cachoeira
Da Virgem da Conceição
São cores que carregas na bandeira
Que ilumina a cachoeira
Da Virgem da Conceição
Cai véu de água pelo ar
Ai, Portela, o teu cantar
Faz brilhar a tua luz
Por isso vou levando
Com respeito
Duas cores no meu peito
Por amor a Oswaldo Cruz

Portela (translation)

portela
They've already said that your cloak
Little blue and white
Remember the colors of the sky
If you pass on the decided avenue
Exchanges of sambar with life
You're to take off your hat
The colors you chose with vanity
And exhibits in the city
always getting attention
These are colors that you carry on the flag
That lights up the waterfall
Of the Virgin of the Conception
These are colors that you carry on the flag
That lights up the waterfall
Of the Virgin of the Conception
Veil of water falls through the air
Oh, Portela, your singing
Make your light shine
That's why I'm taking
With respect
Two colors on my chest
For the love of Oswaldo Cruz
