Unidos do Viradouro - Samba-Enredo 2016

Kawó Kabiesilé Xangô
Ora Yê Yê, Mama Oxum of the gold
Saint John the Baptist who baptized me
Is the protector of my Viradouro

Viradouro on the drum's leather
Asked Oxum and Xangô (Ora Yê, Yê, Kawô)
And Olodumaré, in Ifé
That the African traveler
Descend on Brazilian soil
To speak of the Light of Nazareth
The spokesperson of harmony and peace
The messenger of the Orixás
Finally, has come down to the village
That Aparecida enlightens
With the blessing of Christ the Redeemer
And sets fire to the Sapucaí
In the flame of its lantern... Incorporated

My name is Alabê from Jerusalem
I returned to Earth to ease my longing
I came to speak of love
Of tolerance and equality

I crossed Egypt, Rome, and Judea
I loved Judith, the flower of Cesareia
The King of kings that I met is amazed
And cries with this holy war
That bleeds this blue planet
Oh my Brazil
Beware of intolerance
You are the homeland of hope
In the light of the Southern Cross
A country with a crown so strong
Cannot abuse the luck
That Olorum dedicated to it
