É Hoje

My joy crossed the sea
And docked on the catwalk
Made a fascinating disembarkation
At the greatest show on earth
Will I be the owner of this party
A king among such modest people
I came down the mountain
Full of euphoria to parade
The whole world waits
Today is the day for laughter to cry

I took my samba for the mother of saint to pray
Against the evil eye I carry my amulet

I believe to be the bravest
In this fight of the rock with the sea
And with the air!

Today is the day of joy
Sadness, can't even think of coming

Tell me, my mirror
If there's anyone happier than me on the avenue
