Samba-Enredo 2020 - O Que é Que a Baiana Tem? Do Bonfim À Sapucaí

Scented water, love
In the beat of the drum
It's purification, magic
Rue and guine, a shout for those with faith
My tiger cleanses the soul on the avenue

The sea brought back memories
Your nobility docked at the pier
Enslaved, but never losing identity
Through the hills of the city of Salvador
There's quindim, caruru, vatapá
Acarajé served for the orixá
Food of the saints, flavor of palm oil
Sacred hill of prayer and dance

And arriving in my Rio de Janeiro
At Ciata's house, the rhythm of the masters
There was a party, a mandinga ritual
In the backyard, samba was born

I will follow the procession
Ask for blessings from our lady
Of all the saints, altars, and offerings
Bring your axé in the faith of miracles
Taieira raises her voice, the people celebrating

Today your parade will pass
You are the strength that withstands the whip
In you lives the hope of a race
Oh, Baiana mother, pour blessings on this land
Your white is light
Guides to Porto da Pedra
