É Hoje
Dudu Nobre
Today is the Day
My joy crossed the sea
And docked on the catwalk
Made a fascinating disembarkation
At the greatest show on earth
Will I be the owner of this party
A king among such modest people
I came down the mountain
Full of euphoria to parade
The whole world awaits
Today is the day to laugh and cry
I took my samba
For the mother-of-saint to pray
Against the evil eye
I carry my amulet
I believe to be the bravest
In this battle of the rock against the sea
Today is the day of joy and sadness
Can't even think about arriving
Tell me, my mirror
If on the avenue
Is there anyone happier than me
