Samba-Enredo 1999 - Araxá – Lugar Alto Onde Primeiro Se Avista o Sol

Araxá, Araxá
Hospitable paradise
Where from above
The Sun is first seen
You are a source of knowledge for science
Faithful proof of the existence
Of primitive animals
Scenario where Indians and Blacks
In constant struggle
Against fierce pioneers
Blood flowed constantly
Finally born, São Domingos do Araxá
A free land to explore
A new colonization
With the arrival of the Ombudsman
Liberation arises

Ana Jacintha de São José (is a kiss)
Josefa Carneiro de Mendonça (rare beauty)
Josefa Pereira is strength and faith (what seduction)
The slave Filomena (is fascination)

There's a good smell in the air
This seasoning invites us to travel
I want to be reborn in your waters
To prolong life
Stay at the Grand Hotel
Enjoy its comfort
With its brilliant architecture
Beija-Flor in high spirits
In this carnival brings us
Beautiful corner of Minas Gerais
