Espartanos!
by Tristan Daws & Chris Bicourt
performed by Tristan Daws, Marcus Rowcliffe,
Farhad Jowharsha and Gareth Stapleton

 

Vem comigo conhecer
As portas da imaginação
Entre luz e escuridão
Há deuses, mitos e monstros
Nos tempos de outrora existia
Um mundo além dos homens mortais
Lendas e misterios, reinos e imperios
No Monte Olimpo começa a história
Os heróis da antiga em busca de glória

Espartanos! Descendentes (bis)
diretos de Hércules
Para amor e liberdade
contra morte e escravidão
Os Trezentos enfrentavam um milhão

Se eu morrer no campo de batalha
Quero renascer na passarela do samba
Fazer brilhar toda a avenida
Tornar a tristeza em alegria

Sangue derramado
Não é mais nossa herança
As caixas de guerra agora são do samba
Sábia Atena nos dá inspiração
Do poderoso Zeus ganhamos o trovão
Das cinzas da Fénix renascemos
Meu coracão é verde, é branco, é felicidade
O que fazemos na vida ecoa na eternidade

Desperta! (bis)
Idade da mitologia
Vem trazer seus sonhos
para a avenida

Come with me and discover
The doors of imagination
Between light and darkness
There are gods, myths and monsters
In long forgotten times there existed
A world beyond that of mortal men
Legends and mysteries, kingdoms and empires
On Mount Olympus the story begins
Of ancient heroes in search of glory

Spartans! Descended (bis)
from Hercules himself
For love and freedom
against death and slavery
The 300 faced a million

If I die on the battlefield
I want to be reborn in the Sambadrome
Light up the whole parade
And Turn sadness into joy

Spilt blood
Is no longer our inheritance
The war drums are now used for samba
Wise Athena gives us inspiration
Mighty Zeus gives us thunder
From the ashes of the Phoenix we rise again
My heart is green, it’s white, it’s happiness
What we do in life echoes in Eternity

Awaken! (bis)
Age of mythology
Come and bring your dreams
to the parade

Para uma Nova Aurora: A Herança da Batida Antiga
by John Hicks & Silvia Capanema
performed by John Hicks

Towards Sunrise: the Legacy of the Ancient Beat

Acorda, amor! E leva seus olhos para ver
O sol da Grécia antiga
Continua a nascer
Seus raios maravilhosos
Deuses e seres monstruosos
Chegam a Notting Hill
Misturando os velhos mistérios
Com o carnaval do meu Brasil
A mesma voz, um outro morro, Ô-lim-pô!
De Atena, de Apolo, Saravah Dionísio
Calíope vem pra nos incendiar
As musas sussurram lá no céu
As lindas melodias da volta de Orfeu

Embarcação, um dia pra se lembrar (BIS)
Helena sorri e faz a bateria decolar
Coribantes, vamos cantando
E viajando nesta linha verde e branco

Leônidas lutou, o seu destino, duas forças consumidas
No rastro de Posídon procurando-ô Atlântida perdida, quem é você ?!
Ciclopes ou Psiquê … e agora ?
Na ala das passistas, Afrodite
Guerreiro tocando a caixa de Pandora ?
Como conhecer-te a ti mesmo
Neste vento que muda a toda hora ?
Isso é a divina herança
O conselho sagrado, uma dança no espelho
Onde a verdadeira batalha se lança
« Hoje sou seu até amanhã cedo »
Tudo mundo uma Gaia na balança
E O futuro um presente de grego ! (E veja !)

Veja, meu povo de Londres (BIS)
Vamos aqui acolher
Amigos da antiguidade
Chega de saudade
Já é o amanhecer
De longe vem essa chama
Os heróis dão emoção
A velha semente da alma
Explode no seu coração

Awakest, darling ! And look up to see
The sun of ancient Greece
That never stopped coming up everyday
Its fantastic rays
Gods and Monsters
Reach Notting Hill
And mix it up, the ancient mysteries
With the Carnival of Brazil
The same voice, a different « morro », O-lim-pô
From Athena and Apolo, and hats off to Dionysus
Caliope’s coming to fire us all up
The muses whisper in the sky
Pretty melodies about the homecoming of Orpheus

All aboard, a day to be remembered
Helen smiles and the bateria takes off
Korybantes, we move out singing
Travelling on the green and white line!

Leônidas fought, that was his destiny, and two forces cancelled each other out
In the wake of Posidon, searching for the city of Atlantis, who are you ?
Cyclops or Psyche … and now ?
In with the dancers, Aphrodite
Or a warrior playing repinique with Pandora?
How to know thyself
In this wind that changes every moment
This is the amazing heirloom
The sacred advice, a dance on the mirror
Where the true battle begins
« Today I’m yours but not forever »
Everybody is like Gaia in the scales
« Tomorrow » is just another Trojan Horse

Check it out, people of London
We are gonna welcome
Friends from Antiquity
Enough of this sadness
It is already dawn
This flame comes to us from far away
Heros impart emotion
An ancient seed in the soul
Explodes in your heart

Samba Gods & Mythology
translation by: Maxine Shorto

O grande deus do trovão em olimpia
Voou - voou - voou
Viveu com hera, que foi tão bela
Criaram deuses em nome do amor

Zeus o deus dos deuses
Divina entidade colossal! - colossal!
Comandava a grécia antiga
E deu missoes a outros deuses imortais
Forças naturais!
Eram ligadas do sagrado ao profano
Deuses guerreiros que desfilam esse ano
Cantando samba com paixão
E este samba, encantou!
Os espartanos na avenida
Grande guerreiros de olimpia
A furiosa bateria destacou
Tocando pra sambar e defender o nosso pavilhão
Sinta a batida do surdão
Da london school tremer seu coração

Artemis era a deusa que caçava
Afrodite era a deusa do amor oo
Apolo deus da musica surgiu
Dançando samba e carnaval em notting hill

Voando como heroi, em busca de aventura
Icarus mostrou a arte e escultura
Out in to the sky, don try to fly too high              { bis
Se não voce no samba cai

La-la-laia! 
As amazonas la - la ia la ia, belas deusas encantadas,  {bis
Enfrentando a batucada, contagiante o samba e graça e  sedução.

A noite gerou o dia - virou magia, o ceu uniu-se ao mar de poseidon
Com seus poderes hades traz sonhos e mortes,
sabedoria que athena inspirou

Oh! Grande meduza, os seus cabelos são de serpentes mortais
Odisseia o ciclope, minotauro o touro forte e carnaval...{ bis

O grande deus do trovão em olimpia voou – voou –voou!


The great god of thunder in olympia                        (bis)
Flew, flew, flew
He lived with hera, who was so beautifull
Creating gods in the name of love

Zeus the god of gods
Divine entity colossal – colossal
Commanding ancient greece
Giving missions to other immortal gods
Natural forces
Were connectded from the sacred to the profane
Gods warriors who parade this year
Singing samba with passion
And this samba enchanced
The spartans on the street parade
Great warriors of olympia
The furious drummers stood out
Playing samba to defend our school”s flag
Feel the beat of the surdo
Of London school trembling in your heart

Artemis was the goddess of the hunt
Aphrodite was the goddess of love
Apollo god of music appeared
Dancing samba, it is carnival in notting hill

Flying like a hero in search of adventure            (bis)
Icarus displayed his art and sculpture
Out in to the sky, don’t try to fligh too high
Or else you will fall in the samba

The amazons, beautiful enchanted godesses
Confronted the batucada
Contagious the samba is grace and seduction

The night created the day, became magic
The sky joined with the ocean of poseidon
With his power hades bring dreams and death
Knowledge was inspired by athena

Oh! Great meduza, your hair is of mortal serpentes (bis)
Odyssey, the cyclope, minotaur the strong bull
Complete and carnival.

Y-thagoras and the Myth of Time
from the album 'Dyke Syde of the Moon'.
by Zoltan
performed by Bloco Y

Bloco Y

As dias passam, inverno verão et primavera
O mundo é assim, sem inicio sem fim tudo bem
Y chega jogando batida, com os pés na terra
Vamos caminhar até o apaga da velha chamaaaaaa do bem

Em Notting Hill no Carnaval
A gente dis Foi tãi legal
A marcação da mocidade
O tempo passou e a felicidade

I heard a tale / of woe and betrayal / from long ago
Gaia got trashed the whole checkbook got cashed by her man
So den one of her sons bought a knife and a gun...
"Hey Cronos, where you goin with that knife in your hand?"
Caught his Dad in a trick and cut off his **** . holy sh!

And eversince that day we've been
Turning on this big machine
The numbered face is still in shock
He also cut the Y hand off the clock....

The days go by, Winter spring summer et
The world is so, without beginning and without end all
Y gets beats playing with your feet on the ground
Let's walk to erase the old “calls” well

In Notting Hill Carnival (bis)
We dis tai was legal
The marking of youth
Time passed and happiness

I heard a tale / of woe and betrayal / from long ago
Gaia got trashed the whole checkbook got cashed by her man
So den one of her sons bought a knife and a gun ...
"Hey Kronos, where you goin with that knife in your hand? "
Caught his Dad in the trick and cut off his ****. holy sh!

And eversince that day we've been (bis)
Turning on this big machine
The numbered face is still in shock
He also cut the Y hand off the clock ....
