Samba-Enredo 2024 - O Conto de Fados

A fated sambaUm samba fadado
To the sea on the other sideAo mar do outro lado
Fishing stories, ancestral memoryA pescar histórias, memória ancestral
Travels in the mist of white foamViaja na bruma da branca espuma
To enchant in the carnivalPra encantar no carnaval
Goes to findVai buscar
In the vast ocean the heroic OdysseusNo vasto oceano o heróico Odisseu
Who beyond the Aegean was not frightenedQue além do Egeu não se amedrontou
With a queen so lonely and needyCom uma rainha tão só e carente
Woman or serpent who swore her loveMulher ou serpente que jurou o seu amor
On the banks of the Tagus Lisbon was bornA beira do Tejo nascia Lisboa
The muse of the praises of its minstrelsA musa das loas dos seus menestreis
On the wild beach the gold flowedNa praia bravia o ouro escorria
And the guardian emerged from the tidesE o guardião emergia das marés

Put in the basket a handful of magicPõe no balaio um punhado de magia
From the deities that invaded the placeDas divindades que invadiam o lugar
Put in the basket and knead with carePõe no balaio e amassa com carinho
That from the bunch I make wineQue do cacho eu faço vinho
To celebrate the harvestPra colheita festejar

In the soul of fado a thousand and one nightsN'alma do fado mil e uma noites
Sweet flavors, old wisdomDoces sabores, velho saber
Dream of Sagres, it was the matamba, inherited the samba, ifá, palm oilSonho de Sagres, foi a matamba, herdou o samba, ifá, dendê
Portugal of glories that reveal the pastPortugal das glórias que revelam o passado
To the monster that bled the enslavedAo monstro que sangrou escravizados
And came to land in the seaE veio aportar no mar
That shines under the sky of Vera CruzQue brilha sob o céu de Vera Cruz
A lavender bath that leadsUm banho de alfazema que conduz
The Holy Rosary and the faithful peopleO Santo Rosário e o povo de fé
To sing the macumbado Tijuca fadoPra cantar o fado tijucano macumbado
Of amen and axéDe amém e axé

Bahian spins perfumed with rosemaryGira baiana perfumada de alecrim
That Unidos da Tijuca fumigates with benzoinQue a Unidos da Tijuca defuma no benjoim
Spins in the circle the skirt of lace linenGira na roda a saia de linho rendado
That fado turns into samba, and samba turns into fadoQue o fado vira samba, e o samba vira fado
