Samba-Enredo 2019 - Cada Macaco No Seu Galho. Ó, Meu Pai, Mê Dê o Pão Que Eu Não Morro de Fome

The song 'Samba-Enredo 2019 - Cada Macaco No Seu Galho. Ó, Meu Pai, Mê Dê o Pão Que Eu Não Morro de Fome' by G.R.E.S. Unidos da Tijuca is a heartfelt plea for unity, compassion, and divine intervention. The lyrics open with a call for prayer, as the community of Tijuca dresses in their festive attire to do good deeds. This act of dressing up symbolizes a collective effort to bring about positive change and multiply the 'sacred bread,' a metaphor for sustenance and blessings. The repeated 'Amém' underscores the spiritual undertone of the song, invoking divine blessings for the community.

The song then shifts to a more personal narrative, where a father speaks to his child about the beauty of a new day, symbolized by the sunrise and the peacock's eyes. This imagery reflects hope, renewal, and the promise of a better future. The father embodies faith, hope, and truth, offering comfort and support to those in pain. The 'alimento em comunhão' (food in communion) and 'princípio da salvação' (principle of salvation) highlight the importance of sharing and spiritual nourishment as pathways to salvation.

As the song progresses, it addresses the harsh realities of life, such as hunger and suffering. The lyrics emphasize that everyone has a role in shaping their destiny and that the 'migalhas do poder que o diabo amassou' (crumbs of power that the devil kneaded) lie within each person. This line suggests that the true power to overcome adversity comes from within. The song calls for unity and forgiveness, as people with 'paz no coração' (peace in their hearts) share what little they have. The plea to God for love, equality, and prosperity is a powerful reminder of the community's reliance on divine grace. The song concludes with a reiteration of the initial prayer, reinforcing the themes of unity, compassion, and divine blessings.
