Samba-Enredo 2023 - Brava Gente! O Grito Dos Excluídos No Bicentenário da Independência

(The revolution starts now)

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

The revolution starts now
Where the people made history
And the school didn't tell
Landmark of heroes and heroines
Of genuine battles
Of the divorce from the invader

On that 2nd of July, the Sun of triumph
And the children of this land at war
The blood of proud and servile pride
Turned the lands of Brazil red

I came to demand equality
I want freedom of expression
It's the street for life, it's the life of the brother
Baixada in an act of rebellion
I came to demand equality
I want freedom of expression
It's the street for life, it's the life of the brother
Baixada in an act of rebellion

The lead of autocracy parades
Demagogy in September marching
To the forsaken, empty bellies
Progress favors those who can afford

Order is the myth of neglect
That I don't recognize since the times of Cabral
The struggle, a song, the right
Here prejudice has a structural concept

For the sovereign motherland, behold the people in power
They are Marias and Joanas, the Brazils I want to see
Let Nilópolis sing
For our independence, for popular culture
Let Nilópolis sing
For our independence, for popular culture

Oh, make way for the cord of the excluded
Who go to battle and slay their dragons
Beyond the carnivals, it's the samba that makes me
Subversive, Beija-Flor of the masses

Oh, make way for the cord of the excluded
Who go to battle and slay their dragons
Beyond the carnivals, it's the samba that makes me
Subversive, Beija-Flor of the masses
