Samba Enredo 2000 - Quem Descobriu o Brasil, Foi Seu Cabral, No Dia 22 de Abril, Dois Meses Depois do Carnaval

I want more
To live happily
Samba
With the Empress

I want more
To live happily
Samba
With the Empress

Land in sight
The conqueror's cry of conquest
The king's order is to sail
And monopolize riches from overseas

Caravels departed from Lisbon
With the desire to trade
The spices of India
And the gold of Africa

But then
The course changed
Eyes on the horizon
A sign appeared

On April 22nd, when he sighted
He was enchanted
On April 22nd, when he sighted
He was enchanted

So beautiful, so lovely
Tropical paradise
It was your Cabral who discovered Brazil
Two months after Carnival

So beautiful, so lovely
Tropical paradise
It was your Cabral who discovered Brazil
Two months after Carnival

Land
Blessed with a thousand charms
From Vera Cruz, from Santa Cruz, Brazil
Our land is illuminated

The white
The black and the Indian
In the encounter
The origin of the nation

And today, my school is all races
Invites the masses and tells the story
Five hundred years alive in memory
Of struggle, hope, love, and peace

I want more
To live happily
Samba
With the Empress

I want more
To live happily
Samba
With the Empress
