Portela - Samba-Enredo 1984

Bahia is an extra charm
A watercolor vision
And in the ABC of the Orixás
Oraniah is Paulo from Portela
A blue and white world
The black god brought forth
Paulo Benjamim de Oliveira
Made this world grow (okê-okê)

Okê-okê, Oxossi
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?
It was an 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

Epa hei, Iansã! Epa hei!

In the sway of the standard
Portela spills art
In this unmatched plot
Turns life into poetry
And sings its joy
In carnival time

(Hey Bahia)
