Samba-Enredo 1989 - Liberdade, Liberdade! Abra as asas sobre nós

Freedom, freedom!
Spread your wings over us (repeat)
And let the voice of equality
Always be our voice

Come, come, come relive with me love
The centennial in poetry
In this beloved homeland
The decaying empire, so rich, so inconsistent
Was nobility
The drums rise, here comes the emotion
The band comes in the rhythm of the song
And the nobility adorns the luxury of the hall
Come live the dream that I dreamed
In the distance, it can be heard
There’s green and white around
Shining in Sapucaí

Never again from war
We’ll forget the patron, the immortal duke
Immigration bloomed culture in Brazil
The music enchants and the people sing like this
For Isabel, the heroine
Who signed the divine law
Black folks danced, celebrated the end of the curse
On the bright night of the fifteenth
With bravery, finally
The marshal who proclaimed
Became president
