Samba-Enredo 1976 - A Lenda Das Sereias, Rainhas do Mar

The sea, mysterious sea
That comes from the horizon
It's the cradle of the mermaids
Legendary and fascinating
Look at the mermaid's song
Ialaô, Okê, and in the moonlight

On a full moon night
I hear the mermaid sing
And the moon smiling
Then it enchants
With the sweet melody
The madrigals will awaken

She lives in the sea
She plays in the sand
In the sway of the waves
She sows peace

The whole court adorned
Turning the sea into a flower
See the Empire in love
Arriving at the abode of love

Oguntê, Marabô
Caiala and Sobá
Oloxum, Inaê
Janaína, Iemanjá
Are Queens of the Sea
