Samba Enredo 1984 - Tales of Sand
Bahia is an extra charm
A watercolor vision
And in the ABC of the Orixás
Oranian is Paulo da Portela
A blue and white world
The black God brought forth
Paulo Benjamim de Oliveira
Made this world grow
Okê-okê Oxóssi
Makes our people samba
Okê-okê, Natal
Portela is a song in the air
Okê-okê Oxóssi
Makes our people samba
Okê-okê, Natal
Portela is a song in the air
Game set, strong bank
What was the animal that came out?
The Eagle, symbol of luck
For it won twenty times
It's the smell of the forest
It's wet earth
It's Clara Guerreira
Here comes the thunderstorm
It's the smell of the forest
It's wet earth
It's Clara Guerreira
Here comes the thunderstorm
Êparrei Iansã, êparrei!
Êparrei Iansã, êparrei!
In the swing of the standard
Portela spills art
In this unmatched plot
Turns life into poetry
And sings its joy
In carnival time
