Samba-Enredo 2012 - Por Ti, Portinari, Rompendo a Tela, a Realidade

I kept
The most beautiful inspiration
To exalt in your art
The Brazilian essence of your expression
Awaken, genius painter
Show your talent, reveal the gift
Let the star guide
Make the firmament your eternal home
Released in the sky like a kite flying
I want to see you like a happy child
Planting the seed of the dream in green hue

Emotion, take me
Free brush sliding
I will sail, explorer
A wandering dreamer

Fly through the wings of an angel
In a sky of tiles, ask for protection
Life of a migrant
Under the scorching sun that burns the backlands
Conquer windmills... Stories of love
Draw poems in colored pencils
You, who made life real from the hill
Painted our homes in a beautiful mural
You, portraying the soul, became ideal
My samba sings messages of war and peace
Your name will be immortal in our carnival

It's for you that the youth sings
Portinari, my watercolor
Breaking the canvas, the reality
In the colors of happiness
