サンバの物語 / SAMBA DE ENREDO

A terra era vasta, era rica,
Era um belo cenario
Os barcos chegaram de longe
Trazendo a cobica
Ladroes, prostitutas, gales,
Jesuitas, corsarios
Rezando no meio dos indios
A primeira missa
E mesmo entre a cruz da igreja
E a do cativeiro
Brancos, nativos e negros,
Tudo se misturou
Gerando esse canto bonito,
Mestico e guerreiro
As vezes de felicidade
As vezes de dor
A terra continua vasta,
Tao rica e tao bela
Que ainda desperta la fora
Um desejo profundo
Os mais poderosos
So querem tirar tudo dela
Porque ela virou de repente
O celeiro do mundo
E mesmo com tanta miseria
E valente esse povo
E hoje e a raca mais nova
Pois tem tudo que e cor
E tem o balanco do samba
E e por isso que eu louvo
Num samba esse povo sofrido
Que sempre cantou

Samba's Story / SAMBA DE ENREDO

The land was vast, it was rich,
It was a beautiful scenery
The ships came from afar
Bringing greed
Thieves, prostitutes, rowers,
Jesuits, corsairs
Praying in the midst of the Indians
The first mass
And even between the church's cross
And the cross of captivity
Whites, natives and blacks,
All mixed up
Generating this beautiful chant,
Half-breed and warrior
Sometimes of happiness
Sometimes of pain
The land remains vast,
So rich and so beautiful
That it still awakens outside
A deep desire
The most powerful
All they want to do is take everything from her
Because she suddenly became
The world's breadbasket
And even with so much misery
This people are valiant
And today they are the youngest race
Because they have everything that is color
And they have the rhythm of samba
And that's why I praise
This suffering people in a samba
Who always sang
