Samba-Enredo 2020 - Elza Deusa Soares

Laroyê and Mojubá, freedom
Open the paths for Elza to pass
Hail the youth
This black woman has power
It's the light that illuminates
It's the samba that runs in the veins

There goes the girl
Water can on her head
To overcome the pain, for this world is all yours
Where the holy water was saliva
To heal every wound
That history wrote

It's your voice that silences oppression
That comforts the brother
So the black woman won't cry (so the black woman won't cry)
If life is a watercolor
I saw in you the most beautiful color
Shining on the stages

It's time to ignite
Inspiration in the chest
I know it's necessary to fight
With the weapons of a song
We have to wake up
Love is born from the mud
Breaking the needles that dress the pain

Brazil
Face the evil that consumes you
May the children of the planet hunger
Not lose hope in their singing

Oh black woman!
It's me who speaks to you on behalf of her
With the hottest beat
The sound of the favela
It's resistance on our ground

If you happen to arrive
With the message of good
The world will awaken
Goddess of Vila Vintém
Here is the star
Your people have waited so long to see you

Laroyê and Mojubá, freedom
Open the paths for Elza to pass
Hail the youth
This black woman has power
It's the light that illuminates
It's the samba that runs in the veins
