Samba-Enredo 2026 - Do Alto do Mulungu Surge a Esperança: Lula, o Operário do Brasil

How much does hunger cost? How much is life worth?
Our last name is Brazil da Silva
It's worth a nation, it's worth a grand story
In Niterói, love conquered fear
It's worth a nation, it's worth a grand story
In Niterói, love conquered fear

Hey, hey, hey, hello
Another popular samba is gonna roll down this avenue
Hey, hey, hey, hello
Lula, Lula

I saw the star of a country shine
In Luiz's sorrow, the light of Garanhuns
A place where poverty and tears
Are shared by so many
And wealth multiplies for a few

I saw myself in the eyes of my children
Astonished and empty
With hearts in pieces
I set out in search of love and my dreams
I took my boys by the arms
A relentless sun of the homeland shone
For the destiny of the displaced
I took you, Luiz Inácio

Ironically, thirteen nights, thirteen days
Santa Luzia guided me, Saint Joseph lit the way
From the left hand of God the Father, from the union struggle
To world leadership

I saw hope grow
And the people follow their voice
A revolutionary knows
How to choose their heroes
Zuzu Angel, Henfil, Vladimir
Who paid the price of anger
We're still here
In the Brazil of Rubens Paiva

Fight to win
Accept if you lose
If the ideal is worth it
Never give up
It's not noble to run away
Nor to allow
Them to auction this off
On credit, cash

Yeah, there are poor kids becoming doctors
Food on the worker's table
Hunger is in a hurry, Betinho used to say
Yeah, your legacy is the mirror of my lessons
Without fearing tariffs and sanctions
That's how sovereignty is established
Without false myths, without amnesty

How much does hunger cost? How much is life worth?
Our last name is Brazil da Silva

In Niterói, love conquered fear
It's worth a nation, it's worth a grand story
