Samba-Enredo 1971 - Festa Para Um Rei Negro

O-lê-lê, ô-lá-lá

In the annals of our history we will find
Characters of yore
That we will remember
Their life, their glory
Their immortal past
How beautiful the nobility of colonial times

O-lê-lê, ô-lá-lá
Grab the ganzê
Grab the ganzá!

Today there's a party in the village
Whoever wants can come
There's a royal procession all night
And a bonfire to burn
Our king came from afar
To be able to visit us
How beautiful the nobility that visits the gongá

O-lê-lê, ô-lá-lá
Grab the ganzê
Grab the ganzá

Lady housewife
Brings her child to sing
For the king who comes from afar
To be able to visit us
Tonight no one cries
And no one can cry
How beautiful the nobility that visits the gongá

O-lê-lê, ô-lá-lá
Grab the ganzê
Grab the ganzá
