United Youth of Santa Marta

Authors: Dalton Batista da Cunha; Renan Uccelli Guedes Ferreira; Daniel Tavares Guimarães; Thales Henriques da Mata Nunes Ferreira; Hugo de Oliveira; Carlos José Nogueira; Breno Medeiros Adam; Enzo Mello Barroso Menucci.

O holy in the ingenuity, wronged
Burning water in the senzala drums
Blessed in my heart
Who distills riches, ferments revolts of the nation
“Marvada” that kisses the mouth
Leave my tongue loose
And the truth in the air
Protects from these clueless people
Burns the German's throat
Who from us wants to rob you

This little canine, brunette or white
Makes my body warm
If it goes to my head, come and take my mind off it.
Without the samba cross

One more born, one more down
Life is a party, I even drink in the kid
And in the boat, the devil is at the altar
In this “beat” I drink until the sun shines
Cry, “pea” the tear of pain
Faithful is cachaça, my true love
Optim, this side of the crossroads
It is the “pure” courage of the community
Holy mango, nothing will bring us down

Come Santa Marta in a drink to celebrate
Samba is my cachaça, drinks drip and comes sambar
Samba is my cachaça, drinks drip and comes sambar

Ah...my Northeast.
Love's corner
Dragging the people... I will
There are nine stars in the sky of passion
a sea of joy invades the hinterland

If you do not.
Come closer
The most beautiful side of my Brazil
Plague bitch, lamp, lamp
♪ Lighten my ground ♪
Mandacaru in the rough flowered
Sea embroidered coast pan
I hit my head and ask for permission at Gantois
Lord of the Bomfim guide this journey
In this blessed land
In the strength of the Orixás

Down the hill...
In Pernambuco, Maracatu, singing and dancing
Jump bonfire, Melon Capeline
It is there in Paraíba the largest St. John

And the beauty of Iracema
If you make a poem in my Ceará
In Juazeiro, Padim Ciço miracleiro
I'm a rosemary on my knees praying
Happy, Kingy delight me
Vaquejada and Boi Bumbá
Play the Mine Drum
Dance girl in Maranhão
♪ And suddenly at the altar of this land ♪
I see divine trembling in my pavilion

Authors: Sérgio Fonseca and Tom Tom

It landed in this world, my God,
Between blacks and Jews when I was a kid.
Grew up, changed, moved to Paulicea,
But he hasn't changed his mind or given up hope.
By the hand of marriage,
He found breath, love and peace.
Among the natives, without taking their feet off the ground,
You've memorized the entire lesson of ancestral knowledge.

Among the Desana,
Diving with open chest
And learned that the human soul
It's a much bigger view.

Before, the world did not exist:
It was an existential void.
After the technology came,
It didn't go beyond fire and metal.
Then came the technoeconomics.
Clay, plume and natural straw.
Everything is braided and sometimes a knot:
Shark, art and science are one thing.

Hail set free!
Ave Berta! Long live life!
Save the kingdom of the forest,
Tonight at a party on the avenue!

Authors: Claudio Russo, Carlinhos do Cavaco, Julinho Cá and Jefinho do Amaral

In the wilderness,
Darkness, reinforced concrete
Childhood in the Contramon
Juggler of the closed signal
Disease, unemployment and oppression
Who rate the income is the lion bite
The wolf is the mother of the hungry exploitation.
How can you miss bread in Brazil!!!
I know the lyrics that will light me up
I'll learn to teach one day

Is in power hero or farce
Hope has not won
I'm afraid of this world of cheating
Go to hell the one who's already sold

♪ Return to business is life after all ♪
My angel leads me away from evil
In the streets informal employment
Sick health, newspaper headline
♪ I come to paradise ♪
Freed by Education
Four days of partying I'm done
To the people the message of salvation

In the country of illusion is carnaval
There's gonna be a breather.
The Renaissance puts the wood on the fire
I let Brazilian comedy take me

Honey, I came to tell you your story,
An insane trajectory, fruit of imagination.
Art is life, and life is a disaster,
A sublime challenge,
Suburban inspiration.
Travelling and reliving emotions,
Affection frightens fear and frees hearts.
The child awakens under the cloak of knowledge,
A banner of hope in a new dawn.

A poem, a rosary,
Everything will change.
The most beautiful portrait, multicolor watercolor,
Untied tug that you never imagined.

Play the guitar, the inclusion, my dream.
Between oceans and mandalas,
Love has not been lost.
In Gaia, all her creation,
Unique universe.
Arlindo, your legacy will not go away.
To the sound of Bolero, a passion,
The Diamond Bull eternalizing.
Mental health, one achievement:
Your madness is being an artist.

In Cologne, the centenary is carnaval.
On this avenue, I saw the dream happen.
Crazy neighborhood, you know where it is:
Curicica.

Authors: Marquinhos Kiss-Flor, Claudio Russo, Raphael Gravino, Mateus Pranto, Gabriel Simões and Breno Santos Amaral

It's black the northeast of my country,
Root of blackness has taken root
In the backwoods
And at the port of San Salvador.
It comes from Angola, Congo, Benin and Guinea.
Abará, acarajé,
The spice of the Baiana
And the legacy that forged our faith.
It has magic, it has axé... it is African heritage.

Black beats drum... kizomba!
Free quilombo corner is samba.
Yeah, well... I learned that resist
It's honoring Mahin and Zombie's fight.

The frevo boils through the streets of Olinda,
Maracatu where the black nobility is beautiful.
Bumba My Boi of Father Francis and Catirina,
African resistance teaches us
And it echoes in the voices of the ijexah.
It's jeje, it's yorubá, it's touch of afoxé.
Northeast, umbigada became samba,
Yaos and people,
Carnaval and candomblé.

In the lady's saviour, the present goes to sea.
Odoyá, Yemanjá!
And my flag square comes out of the ghetto
To greet the black people: Inaê, Mojubá!

Chatuba of Mosque

The trajectory of Benedita da Silva will be the central theme of Chatuba de Mesquita in this Carnaval.

The Creator,
Out of clay came life.
In the womb, the promised love and grace,
Forged by your ancestors,
Flower and essence of peace.
He faced prejudice,
You followed your destiny.
The color of the night is light emanating
On re-skin,
Noble African heritage.

Follow the mission... let's fight!
It's belief and faith of those who don't bow.

Broken city, wounded and maker,
He founded the Labor Party.
Black, slums: their identity,
Proud to be in the community.
On the hill, the palanque,
Your house, your altar.
For the chosen people,
He was born to rule.
Equality, social justice,
Not afraid to be happy.
The voice that does not shut up against exploitation:
First black senator in the country!

Famine Zero, culture, education,
For the humblest he gave his heart.

It's strength, it's race, woman power,
Blessed warrior, Bené.
Chatuba is a star in the sky shining,
The hope of those who live to fight.

Neighbor Talker

Authors: Regina, Luciano Fogaça, Orlando Junior, Cecília Cruz, Diego Nogueira, Osmar Fernandes, André Damázio, Claudinho and Julio Pagé

It's dark, mysterious sea.
At full tide, let's board.
We have not heard the cry resounding,
Silence that foretells the journey.
How did humanity get lost?
The voice of the ancestors was silenced.
In turbid waters, secrets no more.
Who can tell the price of modernity
Who chokes the bats from this ground,
Joining the sorority for mission?

Go, talkative mermaid,
Your roots find.
Follow the tide steady,
Whatever it takes.
A cry for help echoes in chorus,
Hope is the spokesman for your singing.

It doesn't come and go from the waves,
The scene of destruction.
The garbage dominates the immensity
And you can't breathe anymore.
Those who dirty the sea cannot sambar.
Oh, Mom! The tide force will guide.
Kianda, in your arms there is nothing to fear.
Your power is ancient,
Alert to every human being:
Make the ocean stage of your carnaval.

The Pioneer arrived in the moonlight,
Stories to tell.
Behold the holy feast in the sand,
Sambando on the seashore: come, Mermaid!

Authors: Rafael Giante, Vinicius Ferreira, Charles Silva, Kaique Giante, Lucas Martins, Guilherme Kauã, Jefferson Oliveira and João Vidal

It's time, real freedom
To the natives that Brazil has forgotten
False progress and inequality
Thy command is born, and my son die.
I'm much more than market value
And it's recorded in my story
Inheritance of Congo and Palmares
The blood of the struggle remained in memory
Pujança de creole e de maches
It's the cry released in the chest
Taking down prejudice
♪ Rebelling at once ♪

Another revel that came from the ghetto
Imposing respect to free yourself
Your decree is illusion, not foundation
Black fight, black sings in motion

Get up, nation!
Your verb goes “front” against the uniform
Lies of these signed letters
Delirium that preached the oppressor
To resist... Objection against the emperor
My Brazil... your homeland never shut up
Who lives on the margins of society
Face the Lead of False Doctrine
Close fist, direct now!
Don't give yourself up to any fate!

It's revolution, repairing history
Leave in memory a legacy of struggle
My people come to show their power
It's Golden Rooster, it's Lucas's United

Independent of Olaria

Authors: Claudio Russo, Marquinhos Kiss-Flor, Gabriel Simões, Mateus Pranto, Raphael Gravino and Leandro Vicente

From the sound of silence the remasse was made,
And the bog dear understood that the swing
He was born in the child named Joseph.
Flower circle, full of faith.
And the breezy coconut packs the boy,
Singing from the earth shaping destiny.
And in these walks, life is string;
At the fair, it looks grim.

It's a fuzué, midnight in the ruckus,
It's swinging, moving arm, moving leg.
It's from the disease, it's from the serene drop,
Look that “the step is this”,
It drives the brunette crazy.

The rocking king mixed
And lit the gift.
The swing king mixed it:
Cachaça with bourbon.
Jack soul, Jack sound,
Since everything is in the tone.
I want to hear, I want to see
If the coconut will be fine.
Find Miami and Copacabana,
Gum and banana,
Capoeira “zum-zum-zum”.
“If it’s samba they want,
I give, I give”,
I know there's not one left!

Olaria is forró, paraiba forró,
Bring the king of the tambourine, insane remelex!
Call your date, grab him by the arm,
You just can't dance outside the bar!

In dry lines, in the heat of uncertainty
The flower of nature is born
The poetry rains on so many Brasis
How you learned from the Marys of the Sertão
Art is inspiration for the backcountry dream
And the faith within
Highest value jewelry
Prayer for patroness to bless

Essence of a woman, her story is a poem
Makes Santana of the Ipanema, her land bloom!

It was revealed the star of television
Behind the screen, it shone... It's gotten everywhere
In every dream, he didn't stop believing
Brunette fulo, the most beautiful garden (bis)

Woman... come present your story
That inspires so many flowers in the seed
Make this victory your catchphrase:
"Come with us," Tradition!

Call the Sanfona for the flower girl
Fly my Condor, beat the storm
In blue and white it shows that it's giant
Come crown Gardneria Cavalcanti!

It is God who traces the fate of the waters.
In the light of the Southern Cruise.
From your tears,
From the Quizangas fountains of Macacu.
In the royalty of Oxossi,
The traits of nature,
The legend of a love story.
Puris shelters in the mountains,
The bantus, culture and beauty,
Mythology coming from Olorum!

The procession and the sound of ijexá
They echo the rivers and waterfalls.
People of Oxum... Ile Axé Omin,
Blessing prayer.

With the blessing of the Holy Trinity,
Immaculate shining on his altar,
From the crystal clear waters, flora and fauna are reborn,
With the singing of the sabiás and the imposing jequitibá.
Come on, it produces fertilisation.
From the earth generating life,
It brings food and herbs that heal.
Riversides make the soil bloom:
Water can never get sick!

And in this carnaval I will seduce you,
Divine faith, done a ritual.
I'll dive and bathe in green and pink,
Wash your soul with the Imperial Lins!

Union of Jacarepaguá

Quingombo, at the root the foundation,
African food that the sea passed through.
The cultural heritage of an ancestral people flourishes,
Who sees justice in the axe of Xangô.
It's protection, it's axé that heals the soul,
Offer emanating the power of the Orixas.
I have everything I need:
He who eats okra doesn't catch a spell!

Ye, ye, ye, ye, ye,
In the ibejade shirness
Today I want to party.
Ye, ye, ye, ye, ye,
Hail Cosimo and Damian,
Caruru to celebrate.

O Bahian mother, smoke in the yard,
Bring the hint of the Brazilian spice.
Spicy popular cuisine,
A delight that delights the palate.
Prepare the famous chicken
With okra and angu,
Taste that spread from north to south.
The banquet's on the table, who'll want it?
Dende boot, palm boot!

Come to plant the faith to reap the axé,
I am the fruit that has blossomed.
In the strength of the Amala,
I want to see hold
The Union of Jacarepaguá!

Standing barefoot goes my poetry,
Made a white wing, flies the imagination.
Every flap, a story... fantasy.
Mandacaru blooms in the “tightness” of this ground.
The eyes shine, I've never seen such beauty
That inspires string singing.
If “rude,” “coxa”, the dust rises,
Under the star that “aluminates” the minstrel.
Here comes art in a dreamer's ride.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Joy has come!

Pitch of hope, wind of calmness,
Pro “veio” sertanejo “see shower” in the hinterland.
He's a cowboy in his life.
Singing the fashion for Bonita and Lampião.

I made myself a king in the castle of magic
And I dreamt that play comes to life.
Whoever carries the faith is not afraid:
My “Padim”, comes to my advantage at this celebration.
Even in the Jewish and suffering land,
Our seed insists on growing.
In the heart boy, I know my destiny is to win.

It's more than a dream, it's my ideal:
This stingray has already become carnaval.
I'll go wherever I go, your green and white,
Cubango, I love you so much!

Author: Ball

Jorge was a brave warrior
Who fought battles without ever fear
And with your natural talent
It reaches the command of the imperial guard
Rome that in distant times
Punishes Lovers of the Christian Religion
I saw the converted soldier
Though persecuted, confirm your faith
Diocletian, Roman emperor
Ordered his execution
The cult spread in his devotion

Don't cry Your Highness, don't cry
The knight killed the dragon
Holy warrior, from the heart
Sings the Empire in praise

And on arriving in Brazil
With syncretism, in the time of slavery
He was baptized of Ogum
It's fire, it's iron, it's grace for everyone
He wins the demand
Whether in Umbanda or Candomblé
♪ If today you've got chivalry ♪
Tomorrow you've got congada to the saint of faith
Who is faithful is of war
It's Corinthians on Earth and George in the sky

I feel you in the air
I'll see you in the moonlight
The Ant Morro in procession
Do your homage to the saint of devotion

A supernatural sacred link

Smoke rises in the temple of the priestesses
In a sky of stars

There's witchcraft. There's magic in that cauldron.
The Hindu Mantra is faith and devotion
It's healing. It's pajelance.
He is a healer in the dance of the sun and the moon

The thrill is watching you win, win
Our nation in ritual
In the sort of carnaval

Don't be afraid
And run for fun.
I'll scare you and see you smile too!
Enchanted and creative in evil,

My favorite causes hallucinations!
Chilly will wear the costume...
Box office success these freaks!

The Riddler is a villain on the drums,
Make it a passist for Sambar.
♪ My evil from the bottom of my heart
He's a hustler, he's a con man.

Maybe.
The imperfect represents the revolts,
The weaknesses and our admiration.

Attractive and legendary, conquer worship.
Good and evil are our choices,
But carnaval is different!
And as weird as that is,
Not all evil is opposed to love.
Not all evil is opposed to love!

Buzios I'll play, there's rituals,
Metal energy.
It's got beads and balangandãs,
At the ceremony, Iansan saddlebag
And what he says to consecrate,
Divinities worship.

Drum... oh, oh, oh, oh!
Firm at the point where the Siri of Ramos arrived
To tell this story,
Praise the root that remained in memory. (bis)

Moon comes to radiate
The light of the jellyfish that shone late.
Fortune has brought wealth
That black woman of gain
In the body he flaunted.
Come meet Debret,

Father Ogun!
Your amulet is my faith.
Of herbs I bathed
And in Bahia I found
Jewels of the sacred axé. (bis)

To irrigate wisdom
From ancestral fertile blood
We are... body, soul and grain

Pajé of the ground that inhabits my being
Diversity in my eyes, growing struggle and love
To fight in the wild colony
Poisoned of insomnia
Who dirty his soil with pain

Ae Ae, Mother Earth Ae!
The gift of caring to have to eat
Finish my capiongo singing
Bring plenty to the quilombo
I've already earned myself

Share the faith in the garden, in communion
Prepare what is worshipped
Put weed in the pestle
That cracked ground
My constitution
Against the landlord
The Song of Abolition

Everything Old Man planted
I'll water for life
I made school my yard
And from the samba I read

I am the fruit of the seed, Abolition!
It's fifty springs blooming on this floor
In my people I'll believe
Only reap victory who learns to sow

The magic of Lembá, where it winds Kaiangô
Every tree planted has Katendê leaf
Matukalombo, plenty and longing
The vunjis run free
Iyá trust us with the mystery
Bend the leather, the Empire
From Exu the power
On the ground floor
Victory in life will flourish

I am the strong trunk that insists
I'm a root that crosses oceans
Resist in the corner, born of pain
From the shed tears, a batuque landed
The Jongo and the Lundu in the House of Ciata
In the Valongo, in the quilombos, my sap is freeing
In each branch, a “fairy” and a pagoda
Bira, Jorge and Arlindo
African heritage resonating

In protest, I am manifest
My verses don't stick to the gag
“Wake up” in freedom, flourished community
In the corner that shakes the dough

In the levadas I became samba-snake
Schools have set flags
At the Chief I erected my yard
Holy Trinity pioneer
Partying has become liturgy
In the back of our yard
To each heir, a sonnet of love
Makes the cradle immortal (immortal)
A faithful Clementian
Don't miss the beat, happy to sing
With dignity, face the storm
Pro show continue

Firm the high party, for pagoda to begin
I've already sent for yo-yo.
Banjo, viola, cavaco, repique and tambourine
Saint Clement is the yard of every party

Dendê academics

The Insula school will honor the Portuguese Athletic Association, symbol of the region, which celebrated its centenary in 2024. With the plot "In the Carnaval of the 7 Mares, go give Zebra!", the school has as its central character the mascot of Lusa: the zebra. The narrative mixes fantasy and memory, with the zebra embarking on a symbolic journey through carnivals around the world, until returning to its place of origin — the club that marked the island's sporting and cultural history.

On the seven seas I traveled
♪ I keep memories of the places I've been ♪
Great carnavals, that time does not break
I saw... In the halls all nobility at the dances of Venice
Masquerades hid
Desires and passions, stealing hearts
Mystery art and poetry and poetry!

I'm sailing the islands of this sea
For Martinique I went to fall in love
In the drum roll the longing squeezed
It's like Governor's Island.

Back to my Rio de Janeiro
Oh! My Lusa, what a thrill
I galloped in the fantasy that here one day
It was a tradition once.
The wind blew the crowd off
There's a ball in the net the goal that came out
I've made history in Madrid, I've made fun of Hawaii
Patin House is high astral
I'm nostalgia, football and carnaval

Today is the day of my dream to happen
I'm gonna go down for that palm-and-grab!
In the hill you make samba for sure
Towards victory with the Portuguese zebra

Academics of the Queen's Ingeny

Theatrical profile hero
Ingenious Boy
You take everything that's yours
Take possession of the fight and the axé
Paint the chords of the samba wheel
Do your baptism in a good candomblé
Portrait of forgotten people
And the lives of a thousand fishermen
Listen to the laundress mother sing the pain

In the traces of the cover, the gift of illustrating
Put on the map a new Brazil
An Open Book to Repagine
The old memory of a hostile time

And then he's revolutionizing
The genius of the arts, a multi-artist
Well “dressed” to consecrate
In light of the spotlight, black is the protagonist
Holy, mix the popular and the scholar
Your blessed talent
Win the scene, adorn the drama
Tinge the sky of my slum
Of rose and carmine
At risk, Pierrô and Harlequin
In the First Academy, art has no end

I want to hear the Morro do Engenho
Take the avenue in one voice!
In the name of art, for all I have:
Santa Rosa is us!

United of Vila Santa Tereza

Come pagodaar
In the shade of the palm tree
And see all the Sambar people
Our singing echoes all night
And remember the foundation Oxossi rooted
With the leaves of the jurema blessed
That suburban quilombo
Redo where samba went to live
The drum was made altar
Save the Chief of Ramos!

Lalaiá, laiá... I have “water in my mouth” to play
Lalaiá, laiá... I just want to head

Beat tantan, cut the respike
Do an improvised verse
Take the banjo and pull a tone... the pagoda is formed!

Add a tambourine and the sound of a cavaquinho
♪ On the Uranos yard that dances little boys ♪
And its fruits germinated everywhere
Showing that samba is art, poetry in essence
Its three colors represent its values
They frame their role of resistance
Village of all these people
Seed that I'll party
Not even the force of time will erase
The master taught that the show must go on!

I am Vila Santa Tereza
From the original batucada
It's celebration night
To the Guardian Chief
From the bottom of our backyard

Rocinha academics

Authors: Lico Monteiro, Fred Lima, Leandro Thomaz and João Danger

Beat the drum, there'll be curimba
In my Ogum spin
There are so many flowers and paths
Dance in the wind the fig leaf
Respect the root of my fig tree
Where the adarrum echoes, offering in the ayê
Messenger is sentinel, Mojubah, Laroyê!
And in the shadows that cut the root... ajogun
The silence collected ago (ago)
It's time to fly... Ilê Ifé!
That the fate of Orummilá
Can you confirm my axé!

Seven goats for Exu, respect for eguns
Purification: Oyá!
The force to honor my ori
It's Patacori!
Don't let your son fall!

You saw fate in the búzios... Babalaô
In ifa direction, confirmation!
Who wants to open paths
You don't go on alone in the dark
The smell of lavender wins the night
Perfumed axé avenue (axé!)
Shine the enchanted butterfly
Between the crying and laughter... your children of faith!
Rocinha! How nice to see you shine
Your courtship is hope
Alaphya!

Sò Dayò! Sò Dayò!
Let it spin... let it spin!
Put some weed on it, Rocinha!
Victory to crown... Rocinha!

Holy land...
Where the people are the greatest wealth
Pindorama, Tropical Paradise

Home of the tupinambás, Guaranis, Karajas
Before colonization
They already owned this floor.
In beliefs and rituals
The gift of being happy and sowing peace
Mystery... Wisdom
Life in Perfect Harmony

Carvelas to the Sea
Blood shed by Slavery
Resilience Hope and Faith
Resistance in the Quilombo.. Axé!

And then they heard from Ipiranga on the placid shores
Drums of a tortured people
And the Sun of freedom in vivid rays
Shine on the nation of the slums
Brazil in independence and proclamation
Freeway for immigration
Cultural mosaic, plural nation
The voice that doesn't shut up, forged in the senzala
Samba, Capoeira and Religion
A thousand faces in one heart

Light the flame of equality

Laroyê Exu Mojubá
Opens the way for my school to pass
Kaô Kabecile, Xangô!
Your Oxe cuts down evil and never fails
Kaô Kabecile, Xangô!
Guided by the Oxê, I move forward in battle
Up there in the quarry shone
In the waterfall, I delivered my ori
I hear the cry of righteousness that echoes without fear
Thunder lights me up, flame that reddened
Defense of the children of the greatest king
Of the Alaphim of Oyó, of the Alaphim of Oyó

You're the guardian.
Who baptized me and tamed the lion
The wisdom, the divine law in me
Owner of destiny to the end

Play the lodge... Hey!
It's baravento, it incorporates Yawô
Invoke Ojuobá... Hey!
Balance and judgment... I ask for ago!

Tool for lesson, sentence and forgiveness... Human duality
Supports protection, a gun in each hand... Power emanating
There's Amalá and black beer in Ibá
It's fire, it's seduction that delights the Yabás
Your son answered your request
By the guided blades, by the blades governed
In white and red dancing
Follow the mission to honor

The axe of Xangô, for fate to announce
It is the flame of victory of Vilar's Joy

The sea that conceived our life
He also opened wounds, through the hands of the invader.
The blood on the ground was spilled
Made the black man in chains sing his cry
Tribes, prairies, arrows, capoeira
Not even the time has gone out.
Made the body flag, the pain turned to rebellion
In the soul a lighthouse that lights
Comes from the Yabas, ancestry
Identity in your Africanity

Oh, Itaparica... flame of the fiery revolt
Shine in the hands of the Black Fortress
With net and courage, the oppression won
Maria Felipa is strength and devotion

The island covers itself with ribbons
And drumming to celebrate
Women become queens
Independence...The popular triumph
It is Bahia of the Sons of Gandhi... Afoxé
It's Bahia. We're Axé's children.
In the washing of Bonfim, Bahians and their patuas
At parties and rituals, Olodum, Ylê Aiê
Roconcavo of samba... freedom
Popular joy around the city

One more Maria, Marias do Brasil
Brave, Warrior, your fight resisted
Much bravery and faith for deliverance
It is crowned in the roar of the Lion

I dreamed... of the message of Our Lady
The dream leads the trajectory
Black Mother shows destiny, direction
Imperian devotee, this dream is all yours
I see I'm not alone
The candle lit!
In this pilgrimage I follow in procession
It's hope smiling
In a procession of emotion and faith
Dreaming of Sapucaí

Your miracles, I heard
Stories that the people told
In the waters, his appearance
Plenty in the fisherman’s net

At his feet... the royalty bowed
O light of the poor, of the excluded
Who stopped the fearless knight
Pray, sing and batuque
It's a black mass.
Syncretized is Oxum “Ora Yeyêo”
On the radio playing
The most beautiful song the world has ever heard
To exalt the Patroness of Brazil

It's a song of love on the path of faith
My Grape Empire bows to you
Make me your altar, the miracle of life
Our Lady Aparecida
