Samba-Enredo 2024 - Oyá Helena

Strong breeze, gust
Adja is your guide
Under the light of the Yabas
Thread of beads covers the chest
Resistance is a precept
To consecrate you
Black woman, daughter of Iansã
Illuminate tomorrow
Like lightning and storm
Make the hill your quilombo
In the beat of jongo
Africanity

Ô iaô, ô yalodê
Ô iaô, ô yalodê
Barravento in the yard
The drum echoing
Massemba! It's samba in the oyá's circle

Ôôôô ôôôô... Black in blood, in race, and in color

Yaya sways
Puts the skirt to spin
Reflecting your legacy
Another lightning in the congá!
Yaya sways
Where devotion is born
Your origin, is root
Is the mirror of the nation

Ah epahey she is oyá, she is oyá
Ah epahey it's Iansã, Iansã
There's witchcraft, to crown
Axé Helena! Mojubá! Elegbará!
