Abre Seu Portão Dourado – Open Your Golden Gate
Samba Mundial Enredo 2012
Music and Lyrics by Mestre Wagner Bueno (Vaguinho)
|
Abre o seu portão dourado Que eu estou do outro lado Eu sou o samba
Sou lá do Rio de Janeiro Que durante o ano inteiro É celeiro de bamba
Desperta desse sono São Francisco De longe eu ouço um grito É carnaval
Vamos, Abre Alas pessoal Tou na avenida Sou o Samba Mundial
EEHH! Sou gringo e não nego Não dói no meu ego Quero é poder cantar pra você
Perdoa se o sotaque aparecer Eu amo o samba!
Tem surdo, pandeiro, tamborim Pierrô e Arlequim Tudo no meu samba
Vamos, Abre Alas pessoal Tou na Avenida Sou o Samba Mundial
I left my heart in San Francisco High on the hills It calls to me
When I come home to you San Francisco Your golden Sun Will shine for me Primero vez – Fora e “San Francisco!” Segunda vez – Fora e “Oh Sambão!” |
Open your golden gate I'm on the other side I am the samba
I'm am from Rio de Janeiro And all year long... The spirit of Carnaval is with me.*
Awake from the sleep San Francisco From a distance I hear the call It’s Carnaval!
Clear the way people. On to the avenida I am Samba Mundial!
EEHH! I am a gringo and do not deny It does not hurt my ego I want to be able to sing to you
Forgive if you hear an accent, I love samba!
It’s got surdo, pandeiro, Tamborin Pierro and Arlequin ** All of that is in my samba
Clear the way people. On to the avenida I am Samba Mundial!
I left my heart in San Francisco High on the hills It calls to me
When I come home to you San Francisco Your Golden Sun Will shine for me First time – Finish with “San Francisco” Second time – Finish with “Oh, Sambão” |
Composed for San Francisco Carnaval 2012.
*The “bamba” refers to the heart, soul, energy, and spirit of Carnaval and thus does not directly translate. The “celeiro” is a barn where all the floats, costumes and Carnaval stuff is kept, but in this case the “celeiro de bamba” essentially is a reference to the hard-core Carnavalistas the make it all happen.
**Pierro and Arlequin are two clowns, happy and sad, in a three way romance with Colombima. Their clown masks are typically associated with Carnaval.
Here is a video of the desenhos being played, for you to use to practice:

Here is an early look at our Enredo for 2012. The audio recording is a rough take, and is not the final version. The song was written by Wagner (Waginho), Mestre de Capoiera and owner of Senzala. Note: He did this as a demonstration, and did not intend for it to be a public recording. Please honor his wishes. Click the title to hear this version.
