Samba-Enredo 2023 - Samba do Quintadinha de Erê

Hey, what a beautiful market, little market of Erê
Your rhythm has the little market of Erê

Oh Zeca, where you living at?
I went out with my crew to find you
I set my beer at the crossroads
For the girl in the flowy skirt and the guy in the cape

Where are you?
It's dawn for your patron saint
To give thanks
To the messenger of Saint George the warrior
There's a charm to protect
And there's magic in the Old Mill
Who has a powerful saint, that’s Ogum?
I do

In the area of Irajá
Cold one at the bar
I’ll be hanging out even in Gurufim
If there’s a crew, Ibeji and ajeum
Cheers to Cosme and Damião, Doum

Hey, what a beautiful market, little market of Erê
Your rhythm has the little market of Erê
Hey, what a beautiful market, little market of Erê
Your rhythm has the little market of Erê

I was searching at the fair
In Del Castilho and Tamarineira
And at the gafieira, bohemians, hustlers
From all sides I’m closing in on you

Jessé, Jessé
I made a party for my godmother, bless her
I honored the voice of the old guard of Portela
And there in the fields I bloomed in carnival
Zeca
Raise your glass for the Brazilian people
I found you in this yard
Xerém is your backyard

Let life take me
Where samba has value
My candiá lit up
I’m Grande Rio, full of axé
My turn spun in faith

Let life take me
Where samba has value
My candiá lit up
I’m Grande Rio, full of axé
My turn spun in faith
