Teve um dia na Bahia
Que cancelaram o carnaval
Quem dera fosse sonho
Mas era vida real
O povo não saiu pelas ruas
Ninguém costurou fantasia
Não teve chuva, suor e cerveja
Nem trio espalhando melodia
Até me ajoelhei pra rezar
Pra pedir a São Moreira, Dodô e Osmar
Que Deus não mais nos prive
Sem vírus, sem crise, de se aglomerar
Feito bomba de mil
Só esperando a explosão
Quando voltar a folia
Ninguém segura a euforia
Atrás do caminhão
Eu vou pular com energia
Chorar de alegria
Sem fim, nem começo
Eu vou cantar por aí
Eu vou encher o copo
De quem nem conheço
