Bum boom paticum prugurundum
His work is a legacy that samba applauded
From the books he drew wisdom
Your art is poetry with a genius touch
Tupinambás and tabajers tribes will pass
But it's worth a jegue that a camel to drop
Brazil shows its face and root, or not Tupy
Your Cabral discovered you.
He dropped the juice in the pot.

Come play on that train, au revoir Napoleon
In the Street of the Ear, delirious confusion (bis)
The party is for us, Marques na Sapucaí
For the boiling cauldron, the concentrate is ti-ti-ti-ti

In the village, he showed the barn to the world
And he made a big deal out of it.
Often a prized rose
He rocked the stands and gave the tone
An ideal setting was born
At Maraca the party shone
The union of sports, sealing world peace
Eternizing masterful closure

I miss that it hurts in the bottom of my chest (bis)
And I wish a day in time would come back

Thanking the masters with affection
Imperial Concentrate rescues the path (bis)
From Rosa Magellan, eternal teaching
For life, inspiration and feeling

Enchanted scene of axé
The portal of my faith, the ayê of the orixás
Umbanda and candomblé terrier
Living memory of my ancestors
The Gypsy people have arrived
There's a moonlight party
In every palm of a hand... fate.
Fire, foot in the sand by the sea
To the sound of violins
The wheel of oboros and iabbas
It's singing and praying, charity, love and peace

My Beach of Macumba
A gift from the sacred
A ballaio of riches
This blessed soil
The energy that surrounds my backyard
It became a plot in this Carnaval

Ogã, firm point on drum
Ialorixá sent
♪ Put the spin around ♪
Laroyê Exu, mojubá
The naughty is in my samba's swing
Son of Pemba will also pay
At the end of the year, when the sky shines
There are offerings that the tide knows how to carry
Sport, culture, leisure, pleasure
Reasons to be proud... my place
The breeze blows musicality
There I go on the waves of happiness

Kabecilê Xangô, my patron
Lighten our home, save the Macumbic people
Yemanjá, I ask protection
Go, my Recreio, in this sea of emotion

The black man on a free day, the axé that doesn't pass
The hope that will never end
Art illuminated by Candeia
The star who craves the future in the breath of Benjoim

Shareholder, your rhyme leads me
Your verse comes from Oswaldo Cruz bands
The carioca retinct dressed in blue and white
Brought the Portela eagle and her eternal cloak

It's resistance, free soul to sing
In the moonlight... the slums exhaled
Culture rooted in knowledge
Much he earned, showed his guideline
Quilombo is race, root
Wakes that spring from the ground
The singing is a link of the three races
The escape of our woes

It came from overseas
On the crossing, a secret lament
Made of notes and tears fabric
Strings silent amid the degress
When he landed, he breathed freedom
Partying with Indians, identity was born
In the voice of the sudden cutting sertão
♪ Poetry blooms in the shoth, baião ♪
Violers, countryman singing
A new sound is in the air

At Lapa, the moon smiles like a beast.
Between the balconies of the gafieira
The bossa that packs a good cry
On the strings of my guitar

Come on my chords travel
For melodies of so many songs
A congada of colors in the frevo of the crowds
Great festivals, freedom and hope
Walking against the wind
Tropicalia is a memory
Rap is the fight of my country
In funk the slum just wants to be happy
And samba is the voice that doesn't shut up, it's my root
Come and see my Hawkeye play his guitar
And make history count
For my Empire to be champion

Guitar and the Brazilian song
Perfect blend of this country of mine
Bras de Pina, your flag
True passion of a happy people

Beyond the darkness
A light that enchants and fascinates
Against the Walls of Oppression
I'm going in another direction, protecting life.
The river is scarce
The polluted air hovers in the sky
In the woods, it resists hope
Why not believe
Exhausted the planet, what future will there be?

Fields of war expose the contradiction
Too rich in too few hands
Before Voracious Greed
I sing for peace
I face every form of exclusion

Respect for faith, origin and color
I'm the owl spreading love
I represent the knowledge
Study Helps to Win
Reflect on my pavilion
The “grab” of being a champion
Samba strengthens my passion (overcoming)

Carioca sassy,
Feared capoeira...
Come on, rascal Miguel!
Street leadership,
Forged with cunning,
Honey malice!!!
Many loved, also by many was loved.
Steady footprint of a poised rascal.
He lived his life defending and attacking...
At dawn, holding hands with the profane.
But Capoeira forgot, she didn't know how to dodge a bullet.
On the trigger, the cowardice:
Black Shirt Died
And Capital decreed mourning at Lapa!

Come on, open the wheel and come play!
Good rascal, you can't trust others.
But what seemed bad
He gave life to an immortal:
Black Shirt, Carnaval Champion! (2x)

Ogunhê, Patacori!
Hey, Iansã Balé!
On the other side, he took over
The trickery with your Zé.
For some, it's Miguelinho do Morro or Miguelinho.
Smoke, drink, play and laugh,
But it's not a joke!
To friends have beer and snacks;
For enemies, there's coffin and black candle!
I admire boldness.
Your spell has passed far from catching!
Black shirt fried fish in cold water.
And here, at Cruzmaltina, it makes macumba come back!

At the door of a cabaret,
I saw who swore to kill me.
There wasn't even time to know who it was,
Because Miguel arrived just before I arrived! (2x)

For Your Black Cover and Top
To drive my walk
To victory!
It's the touch of the macumba
That I get rid of the quizumba
Exu of the Souls, heal!
Sea of palm, maraphus, alaphia
It's Umbanda's party
To win demand

The little church bell makes bell-blade
The little church bell makes bell-blade
My people step hard on this floor
And firm the dot by hitting the palm of your hand

Moonlight, moonlight...
About the seven crossroads
Shuffle comes to laugh
Moonlight, moonlight...
The phalange is formed
The shirre is starting!
Of the humble, defender
I have faith in the axé of the protector
Your street lock will cut all this evil
Bless my school
Come drive my carnaval

Laroyê Exu and Mojubá
Clareia lightens
Open the paths Joy will pass
Dust lift

It's fusion that reverberates a tremendous beat
Colorful eyes of a girl
Black melody is Brasilidade
Empowerment in popular culture
The show's about to start.

Graphing rational letters
My Art will never fall
My charm is to enjoy a funk
One walks beautiful and another elegant

Afro Brazilian likes mixing
Exciting rhythm all your touch
In the modern soul of terreiro
Baianity has never been lost
The sound of black is universal
Makes carnaval the biggest popular party
Capriciously a Grammy to crown you

Strong arm that doesn't tire sentry
From the sambas of Ciata to the pagodas
From Arlindo our drum takes you to infinity

The scars brought pain
Foot on the road, a new journey
The “steel” of the Northeast emerged

At the touch of the “creole drum”
Reborn the bravery, maraca
Hey, Bumba My Boi, shine St. Louis
Your magic stronghold

Tearing the sky of immensity
Against Oppression
A “carcarcará” that flew
To disarm the gags
From this country, “dog world”
John... noble artist of this gentle mother
The whole people applauded
In the “Zicartola” and the theater “Opinion”
The fight, the courage, the struggle
In blue and yellow, the hill exalts you
From the samba I pray
Eternized in our heart

Of so many lives, of so many loves

Sings strong, “the poet of the hinterland”

Consult the Oracle of Ifa
Don't forget the offering (bis)
Don't have vanity

Our bossa is poison in the right dose!

A grain of sand in the vastness?
I have the gift of boldness
I reinvent creation
And in the “cadinho” of the flowers
I lead the medical yearnings
Red-black passion!
My black and red, the future is now!
On the sacred board
Risk the formula that forges victory!

Who can be gold, consecration

To love you is the secret of my existence

For the perfect harvest, which St Peter blessed
Free smile from these Brazilian people
What a dance, sing and feel happier
I intertwined my root and transformed
The hillbilly on the avenue today is king
In the trajectory I found inequality
I raised my voice in social prejudices
In temples there is faith and bonanza
Between cheetah and organza
Values are equal
On the floor of stars where my school shines
There's Sambista in the Gang

Mysteries, magics of imagination
Where everything can, we reach
Our dreams as a child

In search of happiness

The nightmare comes from night to day
I will, with strength and courage to resist
I breathe in a new time that will shine
In this community

With the shine in your eyes to be champion!

Lightened in the strength of the fan
Bring on this avenue a new tomorrow
It's our dream and we're going to fight
