Baía de Todas as Cultures - Bay of All Cultures
G.R.E.S. Samba Mundial Enredo 2008

Lyrics by Brad Hamilton

Music by Luis Dib and Brad Hamilton
 
Moramos na linda baía,
Que se chama São Francisco,
Sua riqueza não é só a cidade,
Mas as culturas que aqui se uniram!

Aqui sambamos como bons cariocas,
Fazemos reggae como em São Salvador,
Forró e frevo como bons nordestinos,
Mas além da influência brasileira,
Música e dança de todos os povos!

One Love,
One Heart,
Let’s get together and,
Feel all right!     [BIS]

Nossos amigos que aqui vivem,
Chegaram de terras distantes.
Vivemos na Baía de Todas as Culturas,
Fazendo dança e batucada
Com um espirito só.
Nós somos Samba Mundial.     [BIS]

[BIS TODO]

Oh Sambão!

We live here by the greatest bay,
Which takes it name from the city of San Francisco,
But the greatness comes not from the city or the bay,
It’s the people, from every culture in the world!

Here we make Samba like in Rio de Jeniero,
We also make Reggae, as by the bay near Salvador,
Plus we play Forro and Chorro like the North Easterners.
But our cultures come not only from the country of Brazil.
We have music and dance from the entire world!

One Love,
One Heart,
Let’s get together and,
Feel all Right!     [Repeat]

Our group is of folks that live here now,
But they come from many many different lands.
We live here by our bay of many cultures,
Making music and dance
With one spirit.
We are Samba Mundial.     [Repeat]

[Repeat Whole]

Oh Sambão!
