Samba-Enredo 2024 - Meu Black é de Rei, Minha Coroa é de Chico

Faith resonates in the touch
In the strength of our drum
Shine in the eyes without hatred or resentment
Shines in my ancestors
I am Galanga ê, King of Congo from Aruanda
I am Galanga ê, I came to overcome demands
In the crossing, reflections with the wrath of lightning and thunder
Lady of the sea, in Mikaia's arms
A storm in the calunga has formed
Enslaved kings and queens forged by the hands of the invader

Samba iô iô, let it spin
Vila Rica is Ouro Preto
The Ogãns will play
From the song of the black for freedom
Illuminate the sanctuary, oh Lady of the Rosary

I fought for abolition
With clenched fists against oppression
I made Bengela the Queen of my Quilombo
Against the regime, I was an inspiration
Legacy that will never be erased
Example of race, culture of the masses
I am the voice that echoes in the yard
The black inspires the whole world
Long live our King
Pride of this Brazilian people

I am Camisa 12, my song echoes
Hail Chico Rei, crown shines
I will eternalize your story
In black and white to exalt you
