Samba-Enredo 2012 - O Dia Em Que Toda Realeza Desembarcou Pra Coroar o Rei Luiz do Sertão

On this amazing journey
The moon illuminates the inspiration
I see the enchanted royalty
With the beauties of the backlands!
"Rain, sun" my gaze
Shone in a distant land
Oh, what a dazzling sight, don't worry!
Woman lace maker
And in the market's seasoning
The clay, the master, the creation!

Mandacaru, the flower of the cangaço
There's "xote girl" in this forró
Oh! My patron saint, blessed saint
It's a promise I'll fulfill, guiding me in faith

At each station, the "sad departure"
I saw on the way a harsh life
On the edge of the Chico River, I banished evil
Embroidering the folklore, cultural root
Let's go, night is coming,
"Missing my São João"
"Respect Véio Januário, his eight bass devilish as ever"
In a serenade, happily I'll sing
On my hillside I celebrate under the moonlight
Tijuca, the herald's light announces
In the carriage of revelry, today there's a coronation!

My emotion will invite you
Sing Tijuca, come celebrate
"Until Asa Branca" meets the peacock
To crown the "King of the Backlands"
