Samba Enredo 1983 - Bahian Mother Mother
Open the doors, oh revelry
I come to give vent to my euphoria
The muse dressed in green and white
And tears turned into song
In the reason of day-to-day
Mother, Bahian mother
Lend me your warmth
I want to wake up in your lap
Where I lay down, sleep, and roll
And isolate my pain
I want, I want to salute you on this avenue
To value life
That life has valued
Black mother, I am your descendant
I feel your influence
In my blood and in the color
Iê, abará, acarajé
Capoeira, son of the mother
Hawker, man of the woman
Okolofé mama
Kolofé-lorum
Aieieu, aieieu mother oxum (repeat)
Bahian, good little Bahian
Your sway enchanted me
Enchanted, sambaing I go
Bahian mother Bahian
Your pedestal is beautiful
I adore you and adoring I implore
Your maternal affection
Aunt Ciata, mother of love
Your bosom nourished the samba
And the Bahian glorified herself (repeat)
