2008 Salgueiro Samba Song



 
 

Canta meu Salgueiro!
Um “Rio de Amor” vai desaguar
Meus versos vêm no “Tom” da poesia
Da beleza que irradia
E fez o lusitano se encantar
Paraíso de riquezas naturais
Coração do meu país
Seduzindo a nobreza
Terra de gente feliz
Chega a Família Real
Dando um charme especial
O porto agita a Praça Mauá
Onde a semente do samba se fez brotar

Eu sou o Rei da Boemia
Carioca, sou da Lapa, patrimônio cultural
E me banhei de alegria, tiro onda, dou meu jeito
Minha vida é um carnaval

Divina obra-prima pra se admirar
Entre morros e ladeiras
A brisa embala as ondas do mar
Essa gente tão cheia de graça
O turista que leva saudade
E o Redentor abençoando
Maravilhosa cidade
O suburbano improvisando muito bem
Vai batucando na lotada ou no trem

E deixa o sol bronzear
No calor do meu Salgueiro
Eu sou raiz desse chão
E canto a minha emoção
Salve o Rio de Janeiro

Repeat

SALGUEIRO

Rua Silva Teles 104 - Tijuca
Tel: 2288-3065
Samba nights: Saturdays 22:00
Colors: red and white
Established in 1953

It is a truly elitist school (some call it racist) the name being equivalent with celebrities. It was, originally, actually among the first schools to show-case the achievements of the Afro-Brazilians in stark contrast to its current middle-class fan club. Salgueiro became really famous in the 1960s for its outstanding samba dance performers. It has a very popular samba hall, being close to the city center in one of the safest areas (compared to the other schools based on the hills in the slums). Every year, it uses its symbol, the fire, in its parade.
