Imperatriz Leopoldinense - Samba-Enredo 1994
Samba-Enredo
Catherine de Medici at the Court of the Tupinambás and Tabajeres
[Theme: Catherine de Medici at the Court of the Tupinambás and Tabajeres]
Today I'm gonna paint the whole town
With a soul that's alive, I’ll go
I’m the fantasy of the Court
Bringing the New World in all its glory
I took the magic of the forest
Dressing up this party, I’ve arrived
Pure in emotion, simple in passion
Dream and poetry in Rouen
My love, it’s so beautiful!
This game, this dance
Tabajer, Tupinambás
And there by the banks of the Seine
Brazil is the image
Of nudity and courage
Indigenous sailors, finally
Mixing it up like this
In the most beautiful landscape
And the crowd in the encore
With the Empress going wild
In France, the noble savage
Set the tone of equality
Fraternity, liberty
I’m an Indian, I’m strong
I’m a child of fortune, I’m a native
I’m a warrior
I’m the light of freedom, carnival
