Samba-Enredo 1982 - Bumbum Paticumbum Prugurundum

I adorned my heart
With confetti and streamers
My mind became a girl
In a world of memories
I embraced the Imperial Crown
I made my Carnival
Overflowing all my emotion

Oh! Praça Onze, you are immortal
Your arms rocked the samba
Your apotheosis is triumphant

From a barrel came a cuíca
From another barrel a surdo for marking
With reco-reco, pandeiro, and tamborim
And beautiful Bahian women
The samba became like this

And step by step in time
The samba grew
In Candelária it built its peak
The donkeys, what an image, a pleasure for the eyes
Make way for the Moleques de Debret
'The Africans', such an original scene
Yemanjá, Yemanjá enriching the visual
(Come my love...)

Come my love
Send sadness away
It's carnival, it's revelry
On this day, no one cries (repeat)

Super Samba Schools Inc.
Super floats
Hiding talented people
What a cowardice!

Bum bum paticumbum prugurundum
Our samba, my people, that's it

Bum bum paticumbum prugurundum
Infecting the Marquês de Sapucaí
