De Gama a Vasco, a Epopéia da Tijuca
Vasco da Gama
From Gama to Vasco, the Epic of Tijuca
Let’s cheer, my people (it’s a goal, it’s a goal!)
The net’s gonna shake, gonna shake!
I’m Vasco da Gama, my dear
Champion of land and sea
Through the Divine Hand (love)
I sailed, I sailed
My childhood dream
That’s how my fate was set
I enchanted Portugal and all of Europe (I sailed)
And found new peoples
Through storms and legends I passed
For an admiral, courage is the law
I traveled through so many seas
And then I reached India
Progress came in this adventure
Discoveries and cultures
It’s on this wave that I ride
The people will remember
Come celebrate with Unidos da Tijuca
It’s on this wave that I ride
The people will remember
Come celebrate with Unidos da Tijuca
Hey, my Rio!
Rio de Janeiro, Brazilian, my brother
(I am, I am!)
I’m Vasco da Gama, champion so many times!
When they step on the field, it drives me wild
This team from the hill, a century of passion
A star shining in the sky
That makes this crowd go crazy
Let’s cheer, my people (it’s a goal, it’s a goal!)
The net’s gonna shake, gonna shake!
I’m Vasco da Gama, my dear
Champion of land and sea
