Samba Enredo 2008 - Trabalhadores do Brasil

It's more than a samba that was created
It's a hymn to the working people
The praise to our people
Seen indolently, through the eyes of ambition
Native color that was present
Painted the pains of slavery
Resistance changed color and was reborn
With the strength and faith of the black
And ascended to the quilombo
Our ideal of freedom
Tired of carrying on our shoulders
Rest from the master, echoed...

That the Brazilian has his worth!
My God help the worker!
And immigration crossed the blue sea
In our field to see life improve

Voice of those who resisted, heard the Vargas Era
Consolidate our achievements,
In labor rights,
Celebrate those who fought so much
Time of industrialization,
Candangos, then, built Brasília
Conscious union,
Land for our people to cultivate democracy
Forward workers of Vila Isabel
Those who make the time don't wait for it to happen
Sweat of these people, built this nation
True children of this land

Today is the day of the worker
Who has earned his place
And our Vila goes, making history
To eternalize the people's struggle
