No palco, na praça, no circo
Num banco de jardim
Correndo no escuro, pichado no muro
Você vai saber de mim
Mambembe, cigano
Debaixo da ponte, cantando
Por baixo da terra, cantando
Na boca do povo, cantando
Mendigo, malandro, moleque
Mulambo bem ou mal (cantando)
Escravo fugido ou louco varrido
Vou fazer meu festival
Mambembe, cigano
Debaixo da ponte, cantando
Por baixo da terra, cantando
Na boca do povo, cantando
Poeta, palhaço, pirata
Corisco, errante judeu (cantando)
Dormindo na estrada, não é nada, não é nada
E esse mundo é todo meu
Mambembe, cigano
Debaixo da ponte, cantando
Por baixo da terra, cantando
Na boca do povo, cantando
