Unidos do Viradouro - Samba-Enredo 1998

Today love is in the air
Will conquer your heart
Sadness has no end
Happiness does
I'm Viradouro, I'm passion

There, where life makes the prayer
And the shining sun comes down to listen
Genius chords of a guitar
It's Orpheus' kingdom
King of the cabrochas
Seduced by his inspiration
Eurydice, true love
Of the winner by general acclaim
From the samba school of the hill
That will sing in its verses
The history of carnival

It's in the magic of the dream that I go
Mythology in samba, love

There, the buzz of fate
That hits the city
Brings another disillusion
Orpheus fell
Into the abyss of longing
And flies to eternity
Carried by the wrath of passion

In his talent there's recognition
In a masterful parade
The hill's guild won
And the samba of the black Orpheus
Has a triumphant return
