Acadêmicos do Grande Rio - Samba-Enredo 2007

Good at football, good at samba, passion
With Perácio I learned to samba standing on the floor
And with Zeca Pagodinho, I let life take me
My name is Grande Rio and I'll get there any day now

I'm going to talk about my land, oh oh
My source of wealth
I will open my heart
And the story of my land, I will sing
Oh, what good land to plant!
Good working people, brave, warriors
Who weeded, oh oh, was a charcoal burner
Built a one hundred percent Brazilian municipality
Then he manufactured aircraft engines and created a union
Working model and union
When Rio de Janeiro was the capital
Foreign immigrants came here
And the Caxiense dream came true
It was necessary to emancipate to improve
There were laws, there were decrees
But the hand of the people prevailed
And at the old station
A farewell to Meriti, Caxias was born

The Man in the Black Cape, The King of the Baixada
He helped the northeastern man, friend of the children
Save the Pillar Church: Our Belief, Our Faith
Joãozinho da Goméia was the king of Candomblé

I want to play freely
Remembering my roots with longing
Partying in the Congo group
Quadrilha and Calango I will dance happily
In my refinery
There is fuel for export
I'm from Caxias, I'm pure energy
Enough to make your heart happy
