Maracatu

Batida de bombo
Estouro de bombas
Batuques de ingonos
Cantigas de banzo
Rangir de ganzás
Luanda, Luanda, aonde estou?
Luanda, Luanda, aonde estás?
As luas crescentes
De espelhos luzentes
Colares e pentes
Queixares e dentes
De maracajás
Luanda, Luanda, aonde estou?
Luanda, Luanda, aonde estás?
A balsa do rio
Cai no corrupio
Faz passo macio
Mas toma desvio
Que nunca sonhou
Luanda, Luanda, aonde estou?
Luanda, Luanda, aonde estou?
