Samba Enredo 1975 - Macunaíma

Portela presents
From folklore traditions
Miracles from the backlands to the virgin forest
Haunted by a thousand temptations
Cy, the queen mother of the woods, hey
Fascinated Macunaíma
By moonlight became a poem
But to the incarnated son
Passed on every curse

Macunaíma, white Indian, sly
Black cunning sorcerer
Kills the snake and ties a knot

Cy, in the form of a star
Gives Macunaíma
A talisman that he loses and wanders
Sings the uirapuru and enchants
Frees the sorrow from his sad heart
Negrinho do Pastoreio was his salvation
And defeating the giant
Once upon a time Piaiman
Macunaíma returns with the muiraquitã
Marupiara in battle and in love
When his stone forever took the monster away
Our hero sang like this

I'm leaving, I'm leaving
I won't come back here
I'll live in the infinite
And become a constellation
