2008 Portela Samba Song



 
 

Segue os passos do criador
Vai minha Águia Gerreira
Leva essa mensagem de amor
De Oswaldo Cruz e Madureira
Água, fonte eterna da vida
Terra, templo da evolução
O homem surgiu, brincou de criar
Descobriu tanta riqueza
É preciso progredir sem destruir
Viver em comunhão com a natureza

É o rio que corre a caminho do mar
A flor que se abre na primavera
Do ventre a esperança que vem renovar
O sonho de uma nova era

É hora de darmos aos mãos
Lutarmos pro mundo mudar
O líder de cada nação
Precisa parar pra pensar
A palavra é união
Pra reconstruir o nosso lar
Brasil, teu verde é o símbolo da vida
Renova a tua energia
Meu coração é o meu país
O sol vai brilhar pra anunciar
Um futuro mais feliz

Eu sou a água, sou a terra, sou o ar
Sou Portela
Um sonho real, um grito de alerta
A natureza que encanta a passarela

Repeat

PORTELA

Rua Clara Nunes 81 – Madureira
Tel: 2489-6440
Wednesdays 20:00
Samba nights: Fridays 22:00
Colors: blue and white
Established in 1923

It is one of the oldest schools despite of several name changes in the past, only its symbol, the eagle, remaining unchanged. It is considered to be the oldest Rio samba group however not the oldest school. It traditionally used to be also one of the very best schools for a long time, winning 21 times which is the absolute record. However those days have long gone and it has lost its excellence ever since the 1980s. It has recently only managed to remain in the Special Group because of its history. It lacks real leadership now and nowadays its name is equivalent with corruption.
