Samba-Enredo 2001 - A Saga de Agotime, Maria Mineira Naê

Maria Mineira Naê
Agotime in the clan of Daomé
And in the light of her Voduns
There was a ritual of faith
But isolated in the kingdom one day
Enslaved by witchcraft
Her Vodum says that from her cult
A new world would be reborn

Following her destiny (from there to here)
Over the waves of the sea
Her body that suffers
Her soul prays
To find her people

She arrived in this holy land
Bahia saw the Nagô Nation
And through the orixás
She found the path of her people
Gold shone, with it came freedom
It went to the land of magic
Of folklore and tradition
A bouquet of poetry
The house of the mines
Is the pride of this land

I'm Beija-Flor
And my drum
Has energy and vibration
Will resonate in São Luiz do Maranhão
