Dragões da Real - Samba-Enredo 2023

[Theme: Paraíso Paraibano - João Pessoa, the Gateway to the Sun of the Americas]

We are the gateway to the Sun of this tropical country
We are the green forest, the hope
We are the Sun of the far east
We are the green forest, the hope
We are the Sun of the far east

We are the gateway to the Sun

This is too good here, it ignites
Your name I wrote in the sand
Dragons, your shout echoes
Lower the song for João Pessoa
This is too good here, it ignites
Your name I wrote in the sand
Dragons, your shout echoes
Lower the song for João Pessoa

Fly, fly, fly
And see the Sun rise first
In the infinite sea find
The true paradise

Negro living other loves
In the flag, our colors
And carnival dreams
In this cool buzz
From January to January
Joy is general

Today there's a forró dance, a Cariri square dance
This is São João, the dust will rise
Don't worry, my flower
I forgot to say
That the accordion player will play until dawn
Today there's a forró dance, a Cariri square dance
This is São João, the dust will rise, oh
Don't worry, my flower
I forgot to say
That the accordion player will play until dawn

Oh mother (mother)
Lady of Paraiban faith
The woman has her light
Emits a sovereign force
Talented hands shaping
A little cotton
Transform into beautiful memories
Richness and tradition

It's a pleasure to see again
The pride sprout from the root
Of this tough land
Place of happy people
Of this tough land
Place of happy people

This is too good here, it ignites
Your name I wrote in the sand
Dragons, your shout echoes
Lower the song for João Pessoa
This is too good here, it ignites
Your name I wrote in the sand
Dragons, your shout echoes
Lower the song for João Pessoa

Fly, fly, fly
And see the Sun rise first
In the infinite sea find
The true paradise

Negro living other loves
In the flag, our colors
And carnival dreams
In this cool buzz
From January to January
Joy is general

Today there's a forró dance, a Cariri square dance
