Sao Clemente's main characteristic is its irreverence combined with samba themes that allude to the Brazilians quality of life. In 1984 for example, the samba school brought to the Sambodromo the theme "Don´t run, don´t kill, don´t die: the devil is free in the streets" - referring to the chaos and violence of Rio's streets. In the following year, the school presented the samba "Let's abide in a house!", an entertaining satire about Brazil's serious housing shortage.

In 1987, the school broke new grounds, having among its vanguard commission real-life street children, with its year's theme: "Tarmac Skippers", which talked about Rio's street children.

Lyrics of the Samba Song

Prepare o seu coracao
E pura emocao
A sirene acabou de tocar (U-la-la)
A orquestra comecou
E entoou o meu cantar
Um violino anuncia
Vem viajar na magia
Do meu cabare, com samba no pe
Vem exibir, pode aplaudir
Sera que e sonho meu?
Sucesso aqui vou eu

Poe a mascara pra mim
Vem comigo, a hora e esta (bis)
Nao sei viver sem voce
Es o artista, faz a nossa festa

De tudo aconteceu
Puxa! Aqui Paris e avenida
Hoje o malandro sou eu
Vi a tristeza feliz da vida
Dei um susto, o fantasma sumiu (buuu)
Sou irreverente
Se o samba empolgou, virou carnaval
Nossa aventura musical
Novica dançou ao som da cancao
E conquistou meu coracao

Tem bububu no bobobo
Sem sassarico e o “o” (bis)
Bumbum de fora, pernas pro ar
Bravo! A Sao Clemente vai passar

2013 Parading Theme

Always working hard to remain in the Special Group, São Clemente will bring in 2013 the operas, movies and plays as parading theme, having the music as connection. This fascinating purpose of turning operas into samba will certainly be worth the viewing.
