2006 Samba Theme Song

LULA PAZ E AMOR

Compositora: Leila Ribeiro


FOI DA BAHIA QUE VEIO
ESSE MULATO BREJEIRO E
A TODOS ENCANTOU

TRAZENDO NO SANGUE AFRICANO
RITMO ALEGRIA E CALOR

É NOSSO REI NOSSO MESTRE
UM AMULETO CONTRA O MAL

QUANDO ELE TOCA E CANTA
A TRISTEZA ESPANTA
TUDO VIRA CARNAVAL (MAIS QUE LEGAL)

DESDE CRIANÇA SABIA
SUA MISSÃO CANTAR PRA ESPANTAR 0 MAL O
EMBAIXADOR DA ALEGRIA EMISSÁRIO DE POESIA
ESTRELA DO MAIS ALTO-ASTRAL (OH MEU CUMPADE)

OH MEU PAINHO, CUMPADE
OH MEU REI, SEJA O QUE FOR VOCE E O
VERDADEIRO PAZ E AMOR


HOJE A MINHA ESCOLA QUER TE HOMENAGEAR
PEDINDO A BENÇÃO E PROTEÇÃO AOS ORIXAS
E INSPIRAÇÃO PRA OXALA

LULA, COM ESSE SEU JEITO DE MENINO SONHADOR
VAI ENSINANDO PELO MUNDO UMA LIÇÃO DE AMOR


NO BALANCO DO AXÊ
FAZ A GALERA VIBRAR
NO PAGODE OU SAMBA REGGAE
BOTA O POVO PRA DANÇAR

NO BALANÇO DO AXÊ
NO RUFAR DO SEU TAMBOR
SAMBALÁ PASSA CANTANDO (2o Vez: SAMBALÁ VAI DESFILANDO)
ESSE SAMBA EM SEU LOUVOR (2o Vez: O SEU SAMBA COM AMOR)


E MAIS EU DISSE QUE FOI...

Translation

Lula Love and Peace

Composer: Leila Ribeiro


From Bahia he came
This boy who was discovered
And he enchanted everyone

Bringing African blood
Rhythm, happiness, heat

And our king and our master
He is an amulet against all things bad

When he plays and sings
Sadness disappears
Everything turns into Carnaval

From a child, he knew
His mission was to sing and to ward off evil
The ambassador of happiness
Emissary of poetry
Star of the highest feelings (Oh my friend)

Oh my daddy, my friend
Oh my king, whatever the future holds
You are real peace and love


Today my school wants to pay homage to you
Asking the blessing and protection of the Orixas (gods)
And inspiration from Oxala (Brazilian Deity)

Lula, with your way of a boy dreamer
Goes teaching around the world a lesson of love

With the swing of Axe (type of music, dance)
You make us vibrate
Whether its Pagode (slow samba) or Samba Reggae
You make the people dance


With the swing of Axe
And the raw sound of the drums
SambaLá passes by singing (2nd time: SambaLá goes parading)
This samba in your honor (2nd time: their samba with love)


But I told you it was so...
