Cabuçu girl
Samba-Enredo – Letter
Comes in the balance of color memory
I jump the strings of this life
Procession dolls
My Robot became a truck...
♪ Pips dancing in the air ♪
I have everything
I'm just dreaming
There's Clown!!
There's poetry too
From the melody rises the song
Memories I keep
In my heart
I don't have it!
Just kidding, let's remember
On the wheel spins, smiles at the dance
♪ Come to my world ♪
It's good to be a child....
♪ If the limit is the sky ♪
Travel in the imagination
On the Internet I can see
The world On the palm of my hands
But don't let it
The screen traps you
It's necessary to think, grow, study
The Magic of Childhood
Can't end (can't end)
Hope makes me reborn
A New and Fairer World
For Me and you
♪ With the glow in the eye ♪
Good will always bloom
Laiaraiá Playing is living
Missing reminds me
Eternal Infancy of Love
What am I? Girl!
Not guilty of Capricious
Entangled: Ana Botafogo – From Municipal to Carnaval. A Innocent Walk through the Art of Dancing
Samba-Enredo – Letter
The curtain of joy has opened
The theater embraced the samba
Beautiful union in harmony
To honor
The girl who was born artist
Your fairy godmother predicted
She'd be...
The most famous dancer in Brazil
The drums make the musical
On this multicolor lit stage
The passion of carnaval
Bring Ana back, eternal lady of the city
Art incorporated into life
Of our dancing cinderella
With Swan Lake, Nutcracker, Coppelia and more
The whole world was enchanted... forever
From coxia to masterful scenes
And today the crowd of the bleachers
Give it up for our kids
Beats a strong heart
On the pillars of emotion
Spin, spin, spin
Come dance with us
Here's Ana Botafogo in the folia
With a capricious and “not guilty” dance
Empire of the Future (Império Serrano)
Enredo 2026: “The Little King arrived at the Touch of the Agogogo with Edgard the Creator!”
Samba-Enredo – Letter
There, right up the hill, near the stars
There, a little boy, heir of love
Between faith and drum, bis
I created my agogo!
(It was there...)
There, right up the hill, near the stars
There, a little boy, heir of love
Between faith and the drum,
I created my agogo!
(And so...)
He came so different
In a very simple way of living...
To see the simple things of life
Where love has to learn
So I learned from this prince
Living with faith and reason
May longing yield light and inspiration
Now I'm asked
“ What is that sound, oh?”
“It’s my agogo!”
4 mouths open and cry
Shine the sunlight
Metal turns sound into prayer
The samba talking right to the heart!
Hit the ground, shake the battery
I hear the touch of the agogo!
4 mouths that don't shut
It was Edgard who invented it!
(Bis)
Sunday (01/02) • 17:30
Dolphins from Rio de Janeiro Entangled: And the Dolphins on a tour of the “Arco-Iris”
Samba-Enredo Letra:
In the dense forest, in the moonlight
The victory-regy, so beautiful floats
In the water mirror, such joy
The dancing boat in your company
Iara girl, humming
In the blue Amazon, look who comes there
The being that inhabits the river and the sea
And teaches what it's like to preserve
Soft laughter, sweet hope
In the magic of love
Blessed is every child
A protective dolphin
On the shores, happy friends
To the sound of the springs, playing
Water is life, it is purification
That kills the thirst of the population
It was God who gave
You better take care of it.
For later not to miss
Lots of light on his way, “Golfs”
Go from Rio de Janeiro to the world to show
The blue Amazon and its green lung
Crying strong for preservation
There are still children in Kennedy Village - Villa Kennedy
Entangled: Love for freedom and the world of children
Samba-Enredo – Letter
Hello, planet.
I need your attention.
At the speed of a comet
Childhood is going extinct
Child labour
Are you going to say you've never seen it?
We've already been marginalized.
Treaties with no value
Finally the UN planted
The seed of love
My right becomes law
I deserve it.
Against Hunger Evil
The ECA is a new beginning is our freedom
Now
♪ You gotta win ♪
Dribbling the ills with education
Denouncing traps
No more rape.
Why so much screen, play and play
Overwhelming my desire to fly
Boys and girls
Free then
So that evil
Don't touch your heart
Comes with the menozada of rhythm
My carnaval “I play”
Singing free hope
There are still children
Penha Petizes
Entangled: Spring: The garden of dreams and joys
Samba-Enredo – Letter
Composition: Leozinho Nunes and Fabão
The perfume is in the air
In a beautiful colorful life
Life will blossom
♪ Joy comes to bloom ♪
In the magic of a garden I'm a child
Sun and rain in alliance
♪ It shined in the sky ♪
The rainbow that will guide me
How rich in my eyes
He's got rabbit spreading everywhere.
Fun and chocolate
Casulo opened... surprise!
The caterpillar turned into a beautiful butterfly
Makes me levitate like a hummingbird
The charm of the drum
I see Gardeners
For the flora, in union
If luck is cast
Ladybug's the reason
And the bear woke up
In a sea of roses and tulips
Of sunflowers and daisies
The Good-Me of Generations
Let the fairy charm your heart
That the joke will follow journey
In the Summer Adventures
We are seeds of tomorrow
From the fruit to the most beautiful flower
The green of the field sprung my talisman
Petize my spring
Children of the Eagle - Portela Entangled: Masks of Justice
“By letters of the wind, I write this letter”
With rain paints
My outburst, I scream stuck
That nobody listens
♪ Say you love me ♪
But throw the garbage that runs into the sea
Deforest my soil for a thousand generations
And cover that sky with smoke air
But I can believe
What better days will finally come
In the hands of the children
It's perseverance
To know how to respect
Taking care is planting love
Listening to the forest, life flourishes
Spoon and water
Do our part
Fighting for the world is art
And the answer is received
It comes from the hearts of tomorrow's guardians
♪ Who turned it into joy, into fantasy ♪
My cry
Today, she parades her courage with her conscience
For every smile is to be resistance
And justice lies in the drum
I follow, I insist and I am!
Today, hope
Dresses in the colors of great change
Made of vera light
I sign down, Mother Earth.
It's time to act, for our blue house
From the Sons of the Eagle, the cry echoed
To keep in mind
That our future begins now

Samba-Enredo – Letter
I'll go down the hill, take my message, more
Once Honoring the Legacy
Just understand, in the trajectory I'm with you
Framed my story in memory
On the asphalt or in the slum...
The color is alive, painting in watercolor
Between alleys and alleys
Coloring, discovering a better world
Between colors draw the beautiful childhood
Understand that you can dream
In the tone...
The courage of the child!

WRITTEN TRAMBIQUE
SO MANY LIFE LICTIONS
Master is who gives way
I'M HISTORZINHO EMOLDURATED IN INCTS AND AXES
THE LOOK OF MY NATIVE MOTHER
MY FATHER'S LIVE COLORS
HERANCES, FESTANCES AND CANDOMBLES
PINCEL WILL DRINK MELODIAS
THE POINTED SKY OF BALONS
FROM AFRICAN TO SUBURBAN SABOR
TRACES AND DIVINE TRADITIONS
I'm a little out of the art, a little out of the people.
WARRIOR, CARIOCA, BRAZILIRO
MY FATHER'S SPEL IN MY MEMORY
Open the child's arms
And since I'm from the village, I don't have any credit.

Pimpolhos da Grande Rio
Entangled: The Ori moves, the Maalum is enchanted and the Pimpolhos counts: has erê, has curumim and children. Sapucaí is also a boy!
Samba-Enredo – Letter
Dream, move on and always learn,
that life is a struggle to survive.
Respect and education I carry in me,
Sambista, at last, has its value.
In your talent, a promising future.
In Okan I traveled, fine arts I saw,
Bambas barn glowing.
Here comes Caxias, everything will change,
a beautiful dance, love poem,
Kids schools, my Carnaval show.
Perfect blend to fall in love,
It's fantasy reflected in the look.
I wish the world was just happiness,
follow the steps of ancestry.
Give the child affection and love,
a new tomorrow, whoever she is.
Will that utopia ever
Will it be real?
My story won't go away.
I'm a kid, not a social problem.
My Ori led me down this road,
to the gala de erê, curumim, children.
Pimps called,
Doum,
Sapucaí sings Maalum.
Borel Tijuquinha - United of Tijuca
Entangled: Pavãozinho knows Rio de Janeiro and sings the beauties of our state
Samba-Enredo – Letter
I went on a trip...
On the horizon a work to shine
That in the bay seems to float
Exhaling the seasaw
In the clear sand I feel the magic
♪ I hear drums resonating ♪
Faith Shakes the Body
Axé coming from the sea
The sun kissing crystal clear waters
It reflects the divine charm
In each region a beauty
Peacock was enchanted with nature
So many places I've been
On many roads I fell in love
I shine in the eye every February
Save the magic of my Rio de Janeiro
On the trails of the mountain, cultural wealth
On the streets of the Lapa a ritual
In the funk I'll throw myself
In swing the cadence will catch
The most beautiful colors remember my home
In Maracanã has samba and football
Blessing of God
♪ This beautiful ride ♪
I'm Tijuquinha and I'm going to be thrilled
Rio is my place of samba
I came down the happy Borel of life
To see Christ bless me
Young Star
Entangled: “HANNA – BARBERA... MY INFANCE IN ANIMATED DESIGNS”
Samba-Enredo – Letter
Imagine that.
Two stars, our dream to draw
Giving life to art
Because it's part of life to dream
Living in outer space
In a family beyond special
On the floor of Sambar Avenue
with Super Powerful Girls
BE MANDACHUVA or Zé hive
The character of a great idea
But look who's coming up there making the turn
Speeding up and almost got off the track
Oh, my God.
What a crazy race
Charming Penelope and Trickster Dick
I asked the master for impossible stops
The people vibrated! It's a 10!
While Tom was following Jerry, olé
Flintons said on the foot
I made a lot of people play, I dated Loop le Beu
I was a detective with Scooby Dooby Doo
It's good to be a child
In this world of imagination
It is made Carnaval coloring the illusion
Our dream is real, it's out of the picture
Today the stars of the film comes to Father Miguel
"Encouraging" the people full of joy
Hanna-Barbera and my little star
Tomorrow Hose - Hose
Enredo 2026: ‘Behind the Green and Rosa just don’t go who has already died’
Samba-Enredo – Letter
Take me I'll go
My dream
Behind the pink-green
Just don't go who's already dead
Bahia is light
From poet to moonlight
Mysticism of a People
Save all orixás
Who sent me
Stars from there
It was San Salvador.
To shine night
Hose!
Throwing flowers across the sea
He's enchanted with the muse
That Bahia gives
Obá berimbau gonzá
Capoeira
Play a verse for yay
Caetano and Gil ô
With the tropicalia in the eye
Sweet Barbarians teaching
♪ The breeze to shake ♪
The sweetness of a voice
A song
At the Theater Opinion
Bethania explodes heart
Sunday in the park love
Joy, joy I'll go
The flower at the party of the countryside
His name is Gal.
Applause to the songbook
It is carnaval, it is Rio de Janeiro
Take me I'll go
My dream
Behind the pink-green
It's just not going who's already dead.
Willow Learners
Entangled: Creep! Learners
Samba-Enredo – Letter
The gift that enchanted the avenue
The charisma that creeps
Today we will consecrate
The story that blooms there on the Island
It blooms in melodies
“O how beautiful” your singing!
A new destination led your road
Boarding Ita, enchanted trip
Opening the paths you've always dreamed of
Sambist indeed, his art has eternalized!
I use bow and arrow, on the head a head a curl
I've guaranteed yo-yo, I've got ya.
Red and white became a love affair
Da Silva Teles to the Street of the Listener
Pully, irreverent!
No better, no worse, just different
In Majestic Africa the drum in tune
Damned to go to the gym
In the subtlety of his verses
My eyes are still shining
Go on from the sky resisting
And this way I dream
♪ Here come the learners, blow up the heart ♪
Here's your yard, beloved lump
Eternal and crowned by all of us
Quinho, master of the voice
Dream of the Kiss-Flor
Children of the Eagle - Portela
Entangled: Masks of Justice
Cries of the Empress - Empress Leopoldinense
Entangled: A Delirious Fabulous Confusion
Samba-Enredo – Letter
Once upon a time... And a child's smile
Makes you believe...
Once upon a time...
In an enchanted world,
Get ready to dream...
Fairy tales, queens and kings...
Clothes that people cannot see
The little shoes dancing alone
A nightingale singing
Mermaid girl, the ballerina...
Universe created by a dreamer
And the boy has overcome poverty
And made art the beautiful princess
With whom he lived great love
Get the viola the repenist
Counts in verses that the great artist
From Denmark it flew, it went beyond
Like a hilly swan
Hans Christian Andersen
It was Monteiro Lobato.
A Master of Children's Literature
Stories written with art
And from all sides counted in Brazil
The place has no borders.
Opening doorways to imagination
Dona Benta gets enchanted
The people of fairy tales
In a delirious mess
The class of the place is ready.
The Empress pretends
Emilia singing like this:
Come travel in this story
Just say "pirlimpimim."
Tuiuti grandchildren
Samba-Enredo – Letter
Bring all the fag on deck
Shout the patriarch so the world can hear
In the ark of the future, the oar of the Galés!
Sea of a thousand children of my Tuiuti
The lion escaped the ring
The Quizombian gorilla made the viola cage
Elephant's up in the air
More than a ton stirred the corroola
♪ I wish I could wake the beauty and the beast ♪
The bear and the flower of spring
Whales surrounded by dolphins
After seven waves, the path...
Blue macaw sky! Tone of sabbah!
Freedom is a bird...
Free to fly and there goes marola...
In a cageless world
Rooster doesn't want a fight or a fight.
Tell the bullfighter the bullfight has no bull!
Not that kid! Don't be afraid
Put on the sign: There's no rodeo tomorrow!
The man, the beast that mistreats
From the green forest made smoke and chimney!
The troupe is here, a cannery squad!
There's no poison, spider lady.
Hope rules life
Land in the Avenida every ark of Noah!
I'm a snake raised in samba
From the heaven of bamba...
I'm Tuiuti! I'm a cub on this floor!
I'm not afraid of a bogeyman!
Turning Hope - Turn around
Entangled: Pretend it's a party – Brazil that lives in us
Samba-Enredo – Letter
Hey, curumim, come and see
We learn more from this country
That in each corner sings different
Of our brassis, my happy singing
A boy told me
From the flags of the divine
Of the fandango violas
How blue the sky is seen from the South
I told you about my grandma's jingle.
And that the Carnaval here is samba only
The samba ciranda on the wheel
Wheel, party nation
The Brazilian soul prays a song
♪ Banging your heart ♪
In the catira beats the foot, raises dust
The hillbilly viola cries all night
People of faith and tradition
In praising Saint Benedict, his devotion
Hey, bitch of the plague, call the Sanfone
Has maracatu and frevo
There in the Para of Our Lady
If the crying rolls, it's thrill
Upriver follows the riverside corner
And find the way of my heart
You'll echo my dream boy
Our destiny is to sing
And the glare in the eye becomes hope
And we dance to celebrate
