Apoteose do Samba

Samba,
When you come to my ears,
You intoxicate my senses,
You bring inspiration,
The languor you possess in your structure,
It's a seduction,
You will cheer up the heart of that creature,
Who is surely suffering from passion.

Samba,
Blown by many winds,
You crossed the seven seas,
With evolution,
Your rhythm that makes you even more fiery,
When it comes from the soul of our people.

I want you to always be my loyal friend,
Don't abandon me,
I see in you the ideal relief,
In all moments of affliction,
You are my inseparable companion of tradition,
I owe you all my gratitude,
Samba, I confess,
You are my joy,
I sing to forget the nostalgia.
