Samba-Enredo 2020 - Onde Moram os Sonhos

My happiness lives in this place
I am a favela
The samba in rhythm is a collective labor of love
Dignity is not a luxury, nor a favor

My happiness lives in this place
I am a favela
The samba in rhythm is a collective labor of love
Dignity is not a luxury, nor a favor

The dream is born in my soul
It takes over the chest and gains shape
Eternalizing, translated into form
The most imperfect, becomes perfection

There in my backyard, I will build a bungalow
It used to be a shack made of straw and thatch
And a chapel that the lantern illuminated
The full moon

Come, the nightfall is beautiful
Go, I miss it so much
Everyone dreams one day
Of having their own corner in the city

Come, the nightfall is beautiful
Go, I miss it so much
Everyone dreams one day
Of having their own corner in the city

How beautiful is the view from my Borel
Lights on the hill, my skyscraper
Architect's lines, life is construction
Concrete bows, inspiration shines

Tears flow down the hill
Mountain range cutting through the forest
Forest, purity in the gaze
The river cries for help
It's land that man mistreats
And my plea embraces the Redeemer

To build a better tomorrow
The people are the foundation of hope
The green kisses the sea
The breeze will blow away the fear of loving life

Peace and joy will be reborn
Tijuca, make this dream of mine come true
