Império da Tijuca - Samba-Enredo 2014

The ground will shake, it's gonna shake
It's a knot in the wood, hold on, I wanna see
Skin thing, ancestral beat
Here comes the Imperial Symphony

Heart beats stronger
It played, I felt the vibe
From Africa, it echoed
The drumming spreading on this ground
Moon shines in the village, celebration
It's a gift of communication
In each culture, it sings rituals
Healing in devotion, magic of signs
It's a party, it's kizomba, in the touch for Zumbi
Set the point in the circle, don't let it fall

In the body's sway
In the foot's beat, axé, axé!
Elevates the soul, the song and the dance
Uniting races in faith and hope BIS

Echoed
The divine sound of popular folklore
Clap your hands, the procession will pass
It's the 'fervo' coming down the hill
The drumming raises dust... capoeira
Sets the trend, promotes inclusion
Recreates a nation... warrior
Drummer, drags crowds
In the blocks and groups
From Jongo to the ballrooms
Conquered the nobility, made its royalty
The first Empire of the samba court
My Empire, cradle of samba masters
