Samba Enredo 2003 - Agudás, Os Que Levaram a África No Coração, e Trouxeram Para o Coração da África, o Brasil
G.R.E.S. Unidos da Tijuca (RJ)
Samba Enredo 2003 - Agudás, Those Who Carried Africa in Their Hearts, and Brought Brazil to the Heart of Africa
Obatalá
Sent for his children
The light of Orunmilá
Guides the Ifá, destiny
I am black and I have overcome many chains
The glory of breaking all chains
On the return of the floating foam
Mother Africa, receive your lions
In the beat of the drum oh...oh... (repeat)
Crossing the sea, of Yemanjá
In the blood I carry this true flame
Afro-Brazilian root, I am Agudá!
Who arrives in Porto Novo
Is race, is people and mixes
From semba came samba
A carnival, through cultures
In the faith of my orixás
Axé my delogun
Fear and protection to the ring of the dragon of Dagoun
The union is beautiful
And we believe in the strength of the brother
In the African continent echoing
The victorious Agudá epic, face of reason
There's the smell of benzoin in the xirê, alabê (repeat)
Prepare the acarajé, in palm oil
Hail the chachá, hail all blackness
Tijuca comes to tell a story of attitude
