Samba-Enredo 2012 - Cordel Branco e Encarnado

I'm a tough guy
Oh my daughter, I came from afar to Salgueiro
In verses, wandering, I kept
Queens and Kings, and even heroic bandit
At the fair I saw my kingdom emerging
Like a soap opera, a little bit more, oh my Maria!
The twelve of the Emperor
Who conquered the popular romance
Voyage on the boat, the enchanted bird
Love that triumphs in legend
Mystery hovering in the air

Macho goat, avenger
Virgulino, it's Lampião!
Hail, Antônio Conselheiro
The prophet of the Backlands!

Go back, ghost
Return to the illusion beyond
In the sudden verse
The wicked creature doesn't catch anyone
Oh my little godfather, come bless me
My Saint is strong, this dog will separate me
I want to reach heaven in a divine dream
It's carnival! It's carnival!
Salgueiro! Your troubadours are poets of the song
Bring your court, it's coronation day
Don't worry!

Salgueiro is love that resides in the heart
With all due respect, the King of revelry
I am the white and red cordel
Crafty to verse in the Academy!
