Ginga

Nego, malandragem de Angola
Fujão de senzala, moleque meu irmão
Eu vi um nego, guerreiro ancestral
Na Dança do ritual
Pra fazer evolução
Pé descalço no céu, berimbau na mão
Okô ôô era senhor
Chora o capoeira
Sonhava um tempo de paz
Cordel na beira do cais
Deu meia Lua e não foi de brincadeira
Rabo de arraia levantou poeira
Paranauê, Paranauê, Paraná
Jogo de dentro, São Bento, filosofia
Salve Santa Maria
Maculelê, Camará
E lá vai o Capoeira (zum, zum, zum, zum)
Feito brisa a liberdade (na rasteira mata um)
Era mestre na Bahia
Foi aluno em Palmares
E quando vejo o povo da Vila Vintém
Que na briga não teme ninguém
Lembro o Capoeira
O nosso herói se fez Besouro e bamba
É filho desse quilombo
Resiste aprendendo a amar o samba
Girou, gira, jogador
Abre a roda pra cultura brasileira
Gingou, ginga, vencedor
É a Unidos de Padre Miguel capoeira
