“The Family Madrigal” is the introduction song from Disney’s upcoming musical film Encanto, which is scheduled for release on November 24, 2021. It was the first song to be teased from the movie’s soundtrack. The song gives an introduction to the key members of the family of the main character, Mirabel, as well as one of the key characteristics of the movie – each of Mirabel’s family members has some sort of magical power, but Mirabel does not.
Disney first teased the song through a release of a short clip of the chorus on DisneyMusicVEVO on October 4, 2021. A longer clip, whose lyrics are shown here, was released on Walt Disney Animation Studios’ channel on November 8. The full song was released with the rest of Encanto’s soundtrack on November 19 – a few days ahead of the film’s official release on November 24.

[Intro: Mirabel]
Drawers!
Floors!
Doors!
Let’s go!
[Verse 1: Mirabel & Ensemble, Both]
This is our home, we’ve got every generation
So full of music, a rhythm of its own design
This is my family, a perfect constellation
So many stars and everybody gets to shine
Woah (Oh-oh-oh-oh), but let’s be clear, Abuela runs this show
Woah (Oh-oh-oh-oh), she led us here so many years ago
Woah (Oh-oh-oh-oh), and every year our family blessings grow
There’s just a lot you’ve simply got to know, so
[Chorus: Mirabel]
Welcome to the Family Madrigal
The home of the Family Madrigal (We’re on our way)
Where all the people are fantastical and magical
I’m part of the Family Madrigal
[Interlude 1]
[Children] Oh my gosh, it’s them!
[Child 1] What are the gifts?
[Child 2] I can’t remember all the gifts
[Child 3] But I don’t know who is who
[Mirabel] Mm-mm-, alright, alright, relax!
[Child 1] It is physically impossible to relax!
[Child 2] Tell us everything! What are your powers?
[Child 3] Just tell us what everyone can do!
[Mirabel] And that’s why coffee’s for grown-ups
[Verse 2: Mirabel & Ensemble]
My tía Pepa, her mood affects the weather
When she’s unhappy, well, the temperature gets weird
My tío Bruno (We don’t talk about Bruno)
They say he saw the future, one day he disappeared
Oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh), and that’s my mom Julieta, here’s her deal
Woah (Oh-oh-oh-oh), the truth is, she can heal you with a meal
Woah (Oh-oh-oh-oh), her recipes are remedies for real
If you’re impressed, imagine how I feel—Mom!
[Chorus: Mirabel, Mirabel, Felix & Augustin]
Welcome to the Family Madrigal
The home of the Family Madrigal (Hey, coming through)
I know it sounds a bit fantastical and magical
But I’m part of the Family Madrigal
Two guys fell in love with Family Madrigal
And now they’re part of the Family Madrigal
So, yeah, Tío Félix married Pepa and my dad married Julieta
That’s how Abuela became an Abuela Madrigal (Let’s go, let’s go)
[Verse 3: Abuela]
We swear to always help those around us
And earn the miracle that somehow found us
The town keeps growing, the world keeps turning
But work and dedication will keep the miracle burning
And each new generation must keep the miracle burning
[Interlude 2]
[Child 1] Wait, who’s a sister and who’s a cousin?
[Child 2] There’s so many people!
[Child 3] How do you keep ’em all straight?
[Mirabel] Okay, okay, okay, okay
[Bridge: Mirabel & Townspeople]
So many kids in our house, so let’s turn the sound up
You know why? I think it’s time for a grandkid round-up
(Grandkid round-up)
[Verse 4: Mirabel & Townspeople, Both]
Cousin Dolores can hear a pin drop
Camilo’s shape shifts, Antonio gets his gift today
My older sisters: Isabela and Luisa
One strong, one graceful, perfect in every way
(Isabela) Grows a flower, the town goes wild
(Isabela) She’s a perfect golden child
(Luisa, Luisa, Luisa, Luisa) And Luisa’s super strong
The beauty and the brawn do no wrong
[Chorus: Mirabel & Ensemble]
That’s life in the Family Madrigal (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Now you know the Family Madrigal (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Where all the people are fantastical and magical (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
That’s who we are in the Family Madrigal
[Interlude 3]
[Mirabel] Adiós! Oh!
[Child 1] But what’s your gift?
[Mirabel] Ha!
[Chorus: Mirabel & Ensemble]
Well, I gotta go, the life of a Madrigal (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
But now you all know the Family Madrigal (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I never meant this to get autobiographical (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
So just to review the Family Madrigal
Let’s go!
[Verse 5: Mirabel & Children]
(But what about Mirabel?)
It starts with Abuela, and then Tía Pepa, she handles the weather
(But what about Mirabel?)
My mom Julieta can make you feel better with just one arepa
(But what about Mirabel?)
My dad Agustín, well, he’s accident-prone but he means well
(But what about Mirabel?)
Hey, you said you wanna know what everyone does, I got sisters and cousins and (Mirabel)
My primo Camilo won’t stop until he makes you smile today (Mirabel)
My cousin Dolores can hear this whole chorus a mile away (Mirabel)
Look, it’s Mister Mariano, hey
You can marry my sister if you wanna (Mirabel)
But between you and me, she’s kind of a prima donna
Yo, I’ve said too much and thank you but I really gotta go (Mirabel)
My family’s amazing (Mirabel)
And I’m in my family, so (Mirabel)
Well…
[Outro: Abuela]
Mirabel!
