Samba-Enredo 2018 - Olubajé - Um Banquete Para o Rei

When Nanã gave birth
She entrusted her son to Yemanjá
With all her love she took care
And healed him, in the vastness of the sea
Hail the brilliant splendor of the morning
Of the enlightened son of Oxalá and Nanã
He returned
Hunter, sorcerer, and good at war
Baptized, lord of the sun and the earth

Obaluaiê jeje nagô, it's oluaiê, flame and heat
The cure for all evil covered in straw
You can have faith, the old magic never fails

Sapaktá, tribe of the ancestors
Mothers and the orixás reign
Ossain, in the leaves the power
Iroko, yewa, arroboboi oxumarê
I want to see Omolu dance
In the opanijé with his xaxará
There's popcorn in the bowl, healer
Imperial symphony arrived at the terreiro
Atôtô baluaiê, my father come to help us
We will offer you the banquet for the king
Mirror of warrior people
Who sweat in labor, and make Olubajé
In the Empire of Tijuca

Araloko, araloko pajuê
Ê pajuê, ê pajuê
The hill of Formiga is coming, coming to win
