Samba-Enredo 2009 - A New Angola Opens to the World! In the Name of Peace, Martinho da Vila Sings Freedom!
It's a new Angola with more love
Its ideals, of independence and liberation
Enough of war and oppression
Seeking the path of peace
A people that suffered so much... was reborn
And the sun of the new era shines
Rebuilding its history
Warrior Queen Nzinga
With her example, broke boundaries
Between chains and laments
Blackness crossed the sea
Making this land its ghetto
Brazil is black, and today comes to samba
Hey, let the circle spin... Let's spin
The protection of 'Zambi' gives us
Come in the Angolan sway
And let the body sway
Later the son returns,
to the place that conceived him
Taking the wisdom he learned
Blessings to those who lent a hand
Solidifying an alliance with our brother
Recognizing this nation
Angola so full of light
Conquered by a dreamer
Land of its ancestors
Exalting its ambassador
It's Martinho, it's José, Partier, Writer
It's from Vila Isabel, who made Kizomba there in Noel's neighborhood
Beat the drum, percussionist
The song of the black echoed
It's time for freedom, and happiness
In Tom Maior, black is the color!
