Regina Elis
Elis Por Ela
O Mestre-Sala Dos Mares
A long time ago in the waters of Guanabara
The sea dragon reappeared
In the picture of a brave sorcerer
Whom history has not forgotten
Known as the black navigator
He had the dignity of a captain
And as he waved across the sea in the joy of regattas
He was greeted at the port
By French girls
Polish youths and by battalions of mulattas
Red waterfalls
They gushed from the backs of the saints
Among songs and lashes
Flooding the hearts of the people in the basement
Who, like the wizard, then shouted:
Glory to the pirates, to the mulattas, to the mermaids
Glória to the farofa, to the cachaca, to the whales< br/>Glory to all the inglorious struggles
That throughout our history
We never forget
Hail the black sailor
Who has as a monument the trampled stones of the pier.
