Bandeira do Samba Raiz
Estatuto do Samba
Flag of Root Samba
Samba's got a new vibe today
It’s left my shack and the world’s embraced it
Samba was born poor, now it’s rich and happier
And my crew from Portela
Holds the flag of root samba high
To tell the truth, we’re right here
Showing that samba is real
And we don’t need to lie
No bullshit, no hesitation
We sing with soul for this nation
Keeping the tradition alive
From the old guard in my heart
Samba, a hot and manly rhythm
Samba is the philosophy of Brazil's poets
Laiá, laiá, laiá laiá
Laiá, laiá, laiá laiá
