Beija-Flor de Nilópolis - Samba-Enredo 2006

I am Beija-Flor
Poços de Caldas is the reference
From chaos to the explosion of life
I am water, the mother ship of existence

It shone, reflected in the universe
A great explosion
Mother Earth finally emerged
From the sky, a massive storm poured down
In the waters, life manifested
Thus along rivers and seas
Civilizations arise
With art and wisdom
Seeking freedom
To conquer a new world

King Neptune, I want to sail
I’m scared this sea might dry up
Protect me, I want to dive
To uncover your kingdom

Atlantis, land shining with love
Strayed from the celestial path
Was swallowed by the depths of the sea
The creator blessed our ground
Gave us the fuel of life
The kingdom of all waters, Brazil
The seed sprouted, bringing redemption and peace
Poços de Caldas, you are Minas Gerais
Pour your miraculous waters over the land
Preservation, the symphony of life
Hear the lament of nature that cries
And the call that comes from the waters
Eternity can begin now
