Shchedryk (Prog Samba Cover) [Natal_CBR]
Explosive Brazilian samba prog rock and barbershop quartet anthem blending samba school bateria, Angola folk percussion dance from Capoeira, berimbau irffs, groovy and danceable upbeat samba. [Intro] features live roda de capoeira: [berimbau], claps. [Verses] use upbeat acoustic samba groove, with heavy guitars and acapella harmonies [Pre-Chorus] builds with tamborim rolls and deep resonant kick drums. [Chorus] hits with full bateria (big percussive band from carnival), plus gang vocals and celebratory shout-backs. [instrumental break] brings short funk carioca–inspired rhythm using only acoustic drums, whistles, and foot stomps, and heavy guitars. [outro] brings all instruments, for a full carnival climax. Brazilian energy, unstoppable groove, joyful chaos. Samba as celebration.

Lyrics
Intros
Verse 1
The herald swallow cuts the-gray-sky (sky)
A shifting wind tells the fold to awake (ding)
The promise of coin, the fattened stock (dong)
Winter’s-iron-grip-begins-to-break (Ding dong)
Pre-Chorus
(Hark! The bird is on the bough)
(Sing-ing to the mas-ter now) ->
(Lis-ten to the scar-let word) ->
(Pros-per with the com-ing bird)
Chorus
Merry, merry, merry, merry
Christmas time Ringing in the rhyme
(Shchedryk, Shchedryk, Shchedrykivochka) -> ->
Bringing spring to ya!
Bringing spring to ya! !!
On and on they send
On without an end
low register vocals
(Ding dong ding dong) (Ding dong ding dong)
Verse 2
The threshold opens to new wealth
The finest grain, the healthy herd
A vibrant house in sudden bloom
Instrumental Break
Bridge
(((The snow... is... gone...)))
(((The sun... shines... on...)))

Outro
Shchedryk! (Bringing in the spring) -^
Shchedryk!
(Shchedryk, Shchedryk, Shchedrykivochka) -> ->
Bringing spring to ya!
Bringing spring to ya! !!
On and on they send
On without an end
