Samba Exaltação Ao Padroeiro São Sebastião

O patron saint, who is light and devotion
Bless, my dear pavilion
A song of faith, echoes in the form of prayer
Hail São Sebastião!

Warrior fought, battles won
With divine protection
On January 20th is the celebration
Long live São Sebastião!

Battles of faith, achieved his ideals
Behold to follow, persevere
And achieve victories
You are the patron saint of my Rio de Janeiro
Postcard of my Brazil
Your people love you and shout with emotion
Hail me São Sebastião!

And today, Tuiuti on the avenue
You are my love, you are my life
My desire, reason for my living
The hill descends the slope
And raises the flag
And hand in hand asks for peace and protection
The samba the most sublime inspiration
The blue mantle in the vastness
You are my paradise
Oh glorious São Sebastião
