Brazilian Samba Plot - Part One

Hi!

I am currently living in China and need to make a presentation about Brazilian Carnival. I've* just finished this free style translation and I'd really appreciate some double checking. Many thanks in advance! :)

The Serrano Empire in the Silk Road

"I trust in the green and write[1]**/They give me a safe path where I can reign/Empire of monumental traditions/Guides[2] us until the unknown/The wise man told us; I kept it in my memory/The tea legend has made history/In an imposing and prohibited {better: forbidden} city[3]/The imperial watercolor[4] slowly gains form/The dynasty characterized by its precious metals/Pays tribute to the ancestors/An immortal legacy


*The apostrophe is not the same as an accent grave.

**It's a little hard to correct since it's written in a kind of truncated, poetic style, but did you mean "write" here? It could, but I didn't see anything about writing in the latter sentences. On the other hand, since "green" is mentioned just before, I was anticipating another color, namely white.
