Samba-Enredo 2012 - E o Povo na Rua Cantando é Feito Uma Reza, Um Ritual

My king
Lord of Bonfim enlighten
The paths of Portela
That I keep in my amulet
I came with the protection of my guides
With Clara Guerreira to Bahia
I arrived, I arrived to celebrate
Let it take, in the altars and yards
There are jars with scented water
I will throw flowers in the sea

In the sea
Procession of the navigators
I am also an admiral
Of our Lady Iemanjá

I go to the gongá to beat the drum
I pray at the altar, carry the litter
The drummers are coming
Go down the hill, my love
The revelry has begun
I came to the street
The circle samba has arrived

Iaiá
In lace skirt in satin
Spices up the party
Oh, there's abará and quindim

Portela full of charms
Welcomes Bahia in its song
With parties, prayers, rituals
Dressed in blue and white
I come to spread our mantle
To my samba saints who are Orixás

Madureira goes up to Pelô, there's capoeira
To the beat of the drum, samba ioiô
The olodum rhythm plays, there in Ribeira
Bahia called me
