SAMBA WINDER'S COMPLETE LETTER
Wake up to dream boy
In the window of the divine has already rayed his mission
When the empire's a mess
Utopia in fate falls into indignation
From the green tabernacle he made abode under the sky
One almost original, Kaapor and Kadiwéu
♪ Cheeky thought ♪
Against Prison
In the oppressive exile
Your gun was the book.
♪ Stay still alive ♪
Free in every educator
Raise Zambi a monumentIn this square a makeCrowning King Zombie (King Zombie)To the courtship quilombolaWhere samba goes to schoolDarcy Avenue
Bohemian, seductive, is light in blindness
Here's to fighting friends and trenches.
If the most concrete form is perfect
Integral, not discreet, hope keeps us
Life, college, to keep all evil from grinding good people!
For us to be happy, reform such progress
Failure is a success when speaking the heart
So many skins I wore...
So that every slumber will dream like Darcy
My country is Maricá, Utopia gentle motherNever stop fighting to change this BrazilPopular victory in this hostile homelandIt's to raise a son of a bitch!

SAMBA WINDER'S COMPLETE LETTER
♪ I came back wind-driven ♪
I bring every element that emanates from nature
Auí made me his instrument
Under the moon the enchantment of Caruana magic
From the Rotator, beginning and creation
The Pajerama then
Anhanga went to arrow
Seventeen days tied in the vine
I, daughter of the waters, have blossomed in my faith
It was my call, but I wasn't alone.
The woods have made me a shaman
It's pity and maraca!It's pity and maraca!I am Cabocla with African heritageMaster Mundico taught meLooping!I have the nilopolitan soul!
Here I am the strong log that was born Marupá
Root of the North, never bowing
That Mother Nazinha blessed
Who unveiled the mission of the ancestors and built
Rooted the foundation that frees Brazil
Comes in the balance of the crab
Marujada and caribbo
The one who teaches is Aguaguara
In the curumim I saw the future in the look
The Baixada to invoke
The force marajoara
Of the people I am, Muiraquitan
Pajé Zeneida, sovereign, champion
(Incorporates)
It... incorporates, caboclo!Incorporate, caboclo!I want to see it incorporate!From the womb of my Para, the laurel dust blewCommunity, Caruana Kiss-Flor!

Samba authors: Claudio Russo, Gustavo Clarão and Luiz Antonio Simas
SAMBA WINDER'S COMPLETE LETTER
Shine in my eyes the mirror of Oxum
Singed the first rooster on the morning complexion
I prayed to infinite Olorum
Tasted like Omolokum
On the Ogã beat
I'm a mandingueira from old Bahia
From Gamboa to Health I rode in the yard
Knowing you're not going to the gym
My son, remain on my board
Dust rises, the scenery changes
God help us from the "Downside Boot"
May this town stay out of French
She's black in beauty until the scrape of the pot
Toothless boot! Toothless boot! shrimpIn the erê caruruIn the acarajé of OyáWho'll have it? Who'll have it? shrimpA spoonful mugunzza Coconut candy and manger
On the corner of the Ear
A pointer will scribble
The righteous framed a yao of the Alabah
To the Head of Folly and Crying
Carnaval is King of Diamonds
Candomblé and resistance
The stop is over. I'll go.
Try to save the Excellency
In this land of macumbers, artists
♪ Poets and reporters, you bamba people ♪
I'm from Massemba, Yabassê,

SAMBA WINDER'S COMPLETE LETTER
I'm the voice of charm
From memories and magic
Tortuous crossing that fate has reserved
And the dust cleared
Intoxicating greed cut diamonds
♪ On treacherous ground ♪
Very rich and sorcerer
It was so much land to plant
When the stone stopped singing
♪ It's not sweet the honey of the cane ♪
And goodbye to Caxangá
Black water, scorching sun, mud house
And a people of value
Just kidding, Jarê's batuqueRound the body spin for body blessIn the light of an old Nagô, the lamp fireThe caruru in the bowl, eating with his hand
But it doesn't end when the healer falls
The teacher hands the prophecy
In drama, in reading, in faith and in love
Fearless women don't shut up
Against injustices and fetters
And the struggle for the land goes on for generations
The seed that stayed is to joinDivide what you planted, and if life breaks downWipe your tears, I'll get you up to fight
On the pages of a admired bookTorto Arado is a Brazilian portraitOur village, more than a schoolAguerida quilombola, scratches the ground of this yard

SAMBA WINDER'S COMPLETE LETTER
Pioneer Awaken
In the green of the flag
Odé Komorodé lends me his ofa
It's time!
Of the oppressed hemisphere
Have the map reversed to Jurupari fight
We cry
For so much blood spilled
Between the hunger of the market and the fury of the ambit
For they are foremans of joy
Harmony oppressors, jailers of illusion
Latino in your soul you will kill
The sovereigns of alcatraz
Pero sin, lose there jamás tenderness!
I dreamed of Obatalá and Tupã there at OrumCaetés in the White House, Colombia and PeruIn full sovereignty we are all onePindorama was the Quilombo of Ogum knowledge
The flavors of love have handfuls of joy
Ready in the heat of rebellion
I ask the North not to repeat the bitterness of such absence,
In Brazil, my companions are heroes of resistance
Atahualpa joined Tupiara
And they shouted loudly don't rob the rare earth
I'm from Tupã with ascendant in Pachamama
In the sweat that pours and the pain that spreads
Regardless, I am disobedient.
I've got gravy and hot blood and I don't make a concession
Take your time and calm down.
May my son turn the world upside down
Play the agueré, to make revolution Play the agueré and respect this nation My north has always been, our motherland gentle Independent youth of Brazil

SAMBA WINDER'S COMPLETE LETTER
Mainha, from heaven, come bless me
Mainha, keep me in your lap
The light of longing wanders in the eye
In the bog, the little house, the serene
Memories that time cannot erase
The faith you left me, soothes my loneliness
Though fear hurts my heart
Delusions planted on split earth
They bloom in a trail of pain
Does the road hide the secret of love?
Does the road reveal the secret of love?
Go back, Beelzebub, don't haunt me
Padim Ciço protect me, San Francisco will heal
In the paths of illusion, sertão has already become sea
Who cultivates charity, charity will find
Hey, batuque on arraia!Gym, balloon, feast, mungunza potOpen the wheel the goat incorporatedHead of the Holy One, I am!
Prices of natives in court
Voices of hope and devotion
Guided by the Fire of Desire
I offer my blessings to purest worship
Toinho, my father, I beg your pardon!
Oh Toinho, my father asks for forgiveness!
Tijuca, light your lamp
A simple cowboy's dream
That Mother baptized Samuel
Tijuca, miracle found in Rosario
In Rio, in your sanctuary

SAMBA WINDER'S COMPLETE LETTER
Come on, man, this nigger's gonna spin
My drum will echo in resistance!
I invoke the divas, the Marias, the Bahians
Depraved, puritans, to cry out our insolence!
Exu commands this yard
Here's the real name.
Francisca, crossroads mother, untamed rose, street goddess!
In the procession of the Academy, black nobleman perpetuates herself
♪ I've incorporated it into my lump's tab. ♪Feast of displaying the power of blacknessI'll dilace the robes of servitudeMy body was invasion, whiteness fetish!
In the lenses of other eyes
The focus on our truth is less
Just like the actress' plot
Who staged one life, one chapter only
I, who was once other Xicas, redo the script, on the floor that made me triumph
Spin, down the hill
My willow, my pioneering quilombo, was reborn in this gongá!
Firma axé on Monday, it's macomba all night
Saravá, alafiá
Mother, guardian, fruit of affluence
Of a slave womb and a noble lord
Matrix, patron of all art
Which leads in its banner, the simple audacity of love
Praise, Brazil! Orun's daughter has awakened!
Laroyê! Xica da Silva!Laroyê! It's Mojuba!Every woman has a right to her own history.My willow is the memory I came back to consecrate

SAMBA WINDER'S COMPLETE LETTER
It's Congo-turned club, coronation procession
This loa brings mysteries of a handmade story
Since time gold is ivory
Nobility was born in me
And she parades her splendor
Back in Recife, when the court breaks into the street
Make way to talk about Dona Julia
Dona Santa went up to Orun, the calunga incorporated
There's a mystery to the mandinga your son sat on.
Nanny... in Imbuia, the Queen's Egum
Epa Baba... in the wood, the Ori of Hope
Leaving your father as a saint
It was kept in disenchantment.
Where life becomes a tale
Who's gone, made himself think
In the traditions of the Shabba
Return your lle
And the ritual will again begin
It's chicken-d'angola, flour, it's blood on the leather.Bold leaf sassagnaWater cup, smoke and huntIt was three days of guarding the snoringSpell that cuts knot for doll to recant
Lady of the Paço took it to the waves
From Pina, a parade
And in a silence that all said
The drums would sing for who it was, but it will come back
Midnight, midnight... I saw the earth tremble
Lady gives way to the people of the Orun down
(Lady gives way to the people going down to Ayê)
Oyá, Oyá...Oyá, Oyá...
May my Ogã evoke a point of macumbaTo win the street, Empress Candomblé

SAMBA WINDER'S COMPLETE LETTER
♪ Ago, clap your hands ♪To greet the owner of the street♪ Turn the body in the yard ♪Come on that shaped the foundationAnd the veil surrounds time, this old wizard
When Anasse boarded the silver threads
Put the gift of knowledge in the gourd
The tone of the word, strength and power
From the broken Igbah
The world has spread
In the voice of the Mandingas was made poetry
Beautiful melodies and songs of love
I was Grio in the light of a baobabTelling thrill storiesAround him, over a thousand childrenSinging memories to the sound of Korá
Tears fall through the sea of forgetfulness
Ritual oppressor

SAMBA WINDER'S COMPLETE LETTER
Sankofa! On your wings I'll get my roots
Crossing does not erase scars
I'm history, mother's gold, ancestral black
Holy bird! I still remember the ominous ship
The pain of my first crossing
I won the drama, I'm the timeless plot
Return on the path of the tides
Around... another sense, another bias
Do I... do I take the fight of the Males, do I?
Is that all you did to free yourself?
The black people in this land who adopted me
A sun ahead, embroidered "Kente"
Ekome Feemo!
My gaze has seared, MareiaAt the meeting Nyame blessedThe flash of the old full moonAt my father's quarry Xangô
In the glow of the Akan people, Adinkra symbology
I know of us sister, taste and wisdom
Tabon, I feel at home
Tabon, I came to stay
Love has lit the fire
With wings I wanted to fly
Freedom to the sound of the baby

The nation evokes my mother Iansan
Turn time, storm
To sweep away all evil under the morning rays

The drum of the beginning
When you turn the crossroads

It's just that I'm black macumber and Oyá
