Mão do Pilão

Vi tanto mar, vi Marajó
maracatu, azulejo e rondó
guias de luz, véu e capuz
vela na areia, pinga e cuscuz
Eu vi samba-regue com lua e com sol
eu vi pagodeiro e vi rock'n'roll
repente e martelo, cacau, caramelo
e um pé de chinelo no mei do Brasil.
Ouro de igreja de Minas Gerais
saci pererê eu vi e o que mais?
calango, joá e o cateretê
babalorixá, caranguejo, dendê
No meio da noite um céu cor de anil
no samba, no coco o facão partiu
uns dizem no pé, eu digo que
que a mão do pilão é que mistura o Brasil.
iorubá, nagô
se me chamá, eu vou
naná, nanã, nonô
eu já falei que eu vou
ba-ba-ba-laô
