Beija-Flor de Nilópolis - Samba-Enredo 2018

Oh, beloved homeland, where will you be?
Your children can't take it anymore!
You who didn't know how to take care
You who denied love
Come learn at Beija-Flor

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

It's me, mirror of the legendary creature
A monster lacking love and tenderness
The target in the sights of contempt and segregation
From the father who denied creation
Hostage of the intolerance of these people
Scraps of my own Creator
Judged by the force of ambition
I continue carrying my cross
In search of a light, salvation

Extend your hand, my lord
For I don't understand your faith
If you offer with love
I feed on axé
You call me brother so much
And abandon me to the void
Exchange a piece of bread
For a piece of heaven

Extend your hand, my lord
For I don't understand your faith
If you offer with love
I feed on axé
You call me brother so much
And abandon me to the void
Exchange a piece of bread
For a piece of heaven

Greed wears a suit and tie
Where hope succumbed
I see freedom imprisoned
I don't know how to read your book, Brazil!

But the samba makes
This pain inside the chest go away
Like a joy and emotion procession, tears flow
My song is resistance
In the echo of a drum
Come see shine
Another boy you abandoned

Oh, beloved homeland, where will you be?
Your children can't take it anymore!
You who didn't know how to take care
You who denied love
Come learn at Beija-Flor
