Samba-Enredo 2024 - Arroboboi, Dangbé

Ê alafiou, ê alafiá
It's the serpent's nest, never try to confront it
Ê alafiou, ê alafiá
It's the snake's nest, ready to fight

Arroboboi, my father
Arroboboi, Dangbé
Distill your energy into your soul and your skin
Pour your protection onto this ground
For Viradouro's victory

Arroboboi, my father
Arroboboi, Dangbé
Distill your axé (spiritual energy) into your soul and your skin
Pour your protection onto this ground
For Viradouro's victory

Behold the power that crawls on Earth
Light to win this war
The power of Vodun
A trail that blesses, agoyê
Pray to be reborn
Adarrum touch

Loyalty in red flames
Fire in the form of a woman
A rise to freedom, divinity in Dahomey
An ocean has already bled
For your rite to incorporate
In a more African Brazil, different sand, same sea

Erect the house of bogum, atabaque in Bahia
Ya is Gu, queen, heiress of Candomblé
Centenary of the founding of the Gold Coast
Seed of a legion of faith

Erect the house of bogum, atabaque in Bahia
Ya is Gu, queen, heiress of Candomblé
Centenary of the founding of the Gold Coast
Seed of a legion of faith

It lives within me
The brotherhood that overcame pain
I inherited strength from Hundé, and from struggle, Mino
It meanders like a river to the sea
A rainbow that will light up the sky

Ayî
May your poison be my power
Bessen that cuts through the dawn
Sacred Gume-Kujo
Vodunces respect him
They cry out: Kolofé
And the drums reveal their faith

Ê alafiou, ê alafiá
It's the serpent's nest, never try to confront it
Ê alafiou, ê alafiá
It's the snake's nest, ready to fight
