Gaviões da Fiel - Samba-Enredo 1999

There's bumba-meu-boi, reisado, and marujada
There are Gaviões, shaking the stands
There's bumba-meu-boi, reisado, and marujada
There are Gaviões, shaking the stands
Hail!
Hail the warrior of faith, guardian knight
His sword rises against evil
What am I?
I'm a Gavião, I have courage, I'll fight to achieve my ideal
I'm a Gavião, I have courage, I'll fight to achieve my ideal
But when
When the noble valiant departed
Another nation took over his throne
A belief arises in the people calling for his return
On a misty morning in the waves of the sea
In hope that the king will return
Long live King D. João, it's a celebration, it's acclamation
Believing not to be D. Sebastião
Long live King D. João, who restored his country
In his Empire, made the people happier
Long live King D. João, it's a celebration, it's acclamation
Believing not to be D. Sebastião
Long live King D. João, who restored his country
In his Empire, made the people happier
But the search
The search for the myth continues and spread throughout the Northeast of Brazil
Canudos, Serra do Rodeador, Pedra Bonita, so much suffering and pain
Praia dos Lençóis, in Maranhão, relives the legend of resurrection
And since the dawn of our history, the sacrifice of the bull became tradition
And today, the entire sky illuminated, shines the star of the enchanted king bull
There's bumba-meu-boi, reisado, and marujada
There are Gaviões, shaking the stands
There's bumba-meu-boi, reisado, and marujada
There are Gaviões, shaking the stands
