Samba Exaltação - o Dia Vai Chegar

The day will come
I won't try to contain the emotion
I'll hide to watch the celebration
Of the most humble reveler
I will then remember
The master who has already left us
To him I will raise my flag
Yellow-gold and blue-peacock

In the ashes of the never-ending Wednesday
The flag bearer spins
The hill descends singing
The old baiana cries
Leather stained in red
In the Tijuca race
The purest and truest love

Tijuca!
Make my dream come true
Parade your song of love and struggle
Our time to win has come
