Samba-Enredo 2007 - O Intrépido Santo Guerreiro

Jorge was a brave warrior
Who faced battles without ever fearing
And with his natural talent
He reaches the command of the imperial guard
Rome that in distant times
Punished lovers of the Christian religion
Saw the soldier converted
Despite being persecuted, confirming his faith
Diocletian, Roman emperor
Ordered his execution
The cult spread in his devotion

Don't cry, highness, don't cry
The knight killed the dragon
Holy warrior, from the heart
The Empire sings in praise

And upon arriving in Brazil
With syncretism, in the time of slavery
He was baptized as Ogum
He is fire, he is iron, he is grace for everyone
He is the one who wins the demand
Whether in Umbanda or Candomblé
If today there is a horseback procession
Tomorrow there will be a conga for the saint of faith
Who is faithful, is of war
Is Corinthians on Earth and Jorge in heaven

I feel you in the air
I see you in the moonlight
The Morro da Formiga in procession
Pays homage to the saint of devotion
