Samba-Enredo 2017 - Mil e Uma Noites de Uma Mocidade Pra Lá de Marrakech

Shine the Southern Cross
Shine the Southern Cross
In the land of Allah
Sky of Scheherazade
Come to Morocco, my love
Come to my Vila Vintém
Dream, Mocidade

Shine the Southern Cross
Shine the Southern Cross
In the land of Allah
Sky of Scheherazade
Come to Morocco, my love
Come to my Vila Vintém
Dream, Mocidade

I went to the desert to beat my drum
To meet Allah and my Xangô
Suddenly the mirage appears
In the square, a man telling love stories
I went beyond Marrakesh

My West Zone moved by passion
You're my El Jadida, my theater of illusion
So much so that my eyes
See in the sea of Gibraltar
Mermaid, lady of Iemanjá's sands
Your desert, my backlands
Your oasis, my corner wades
Mixing lute with rattle

Open Sesame as the samba commanded
A thousand and one nights of love
Put Aladdin on the agogô, tantan in Sinbad's hands
My ears are deaf

Open Sesame as the samba commanded
A thousand and one nights of love
It's the Sahara from there with the Sahara from here
My Mocidade has arrived

Arrived, arrived
From Padre Miguel, the lantern
The caravan from overseas returns to our village
Oh, my Brazil, embrace humanity
You're the gentle motherland of friendship

Shine the Southern Cross
In the land of Allah
Sky of Scheherazade
Come to Morocco, my love
Come to my Vila Vintém
Dream, Mocidade

Shine the Southern Cross
In the land of Allah
Sky of Scheherazade
Come to Morocco, my love
Come to my Vila Vintém
Dream, Mocidade
