Samba-Enredo 2003 - O Povo Conta a Sua História: Saco Vazio Não Para Em Pé (A Mão Que Faz a Guerra Faz a Paz)

```Light, divine light that guides me
Brighten my brightness, brighten
In the paths of truth, where is happiness?
I arrived at a sanctuary of ambition

And the very strong indigenous resisted
Witnessed the relentless torture
While the Black sang of longing
For the motherland of freedom

In France, the Bastille is taken
The people show their indignation
Revolted with the devil
Who kneaded our bread

Loud cry of the Palmares: Zumbi
Hero of the Inconfidência: Tiradentes
In the caatingas of the Northeast: Lampião
All fought against the force of oppression

Then is born
A powerful warrior
Who develops her social work
Culture for the poor, sheltered the ragged
Fraternity, in general
Brave suffering people, from the lowlands
Raising their voices in the carnival planet
I want freedom, dignity, and unity
I was tin, now I'm silver
Trash, gold of the region
Enough of earning so little
I'm in distress, I'm going to vent
Stop with this greed, because tolerance
Can come to an end

Oh, my Brazil
An overdose of love brings us
Mirrored in the Beija-Flor family
Fighting eternally for peace```
