Quando o destino passar por aqui
Diz que’u refiz meu caminho
Que voltei a ser menino
Voltei pro morro
Voltei pro ninho
Voltei pro povo
Não sou mais granfino
Voltei à porta dela
Portela
A pedir carinho
Voltei a ser o samba
De Cartola e de Natal
De Noel da Vila Rosa
Majestade bamba
Samba de roda
Lição primordial
Que não se aprende na escola
Nota natural do povo e sua história
Voltei a ser o samba, voltei
Voltei a ser do povo
E minha dança
Não é pra pagar imposto
E não precisa ser imoral
Nem ter catedral
Sou da rua e dos canteiros
Sou sujeito brasileiro
Sou do verdadeiro carnaval
