Gato preto que cruzou meu caminho
Não sabem eles que não ando só, sozinho
Eu sou amigo de toda a moçada
Eu mio com os felinos
Eu lato com os latinos
Eu uivo com toda a cachorrada
Na lua cheia
Oh, oh, oh, oh seu mandingueiro
Saiba que toda mandinga volta
Oh, oh, oh, oh seu macumbeiro
Saiba que todo orixá me escolta
Na rua afora
Exu me presenteou uma cachaça
E a tal galinha preta
Que é pra eu me proteger
Pra eu enfrentar
Mandinga, catimba, mutreta
Ô nuvem negra que pairou na cabeça
Oh, oh, oh, oh seu mandingueiro
Saiba que toda mandinga volta
Oh, oh, oh, oh seu macumbeiro
Saiba que todo orixá me escolta
Na rua afora
Exu me presenteou uma cachaça
E a tal galinha preta
Que é pra eu me proteger
Pra eu enfrentar
Mandinga, catimba, mutreta
Exu me presenteou uma cachaça
E a tal galinha preta
Que é pra eu me proteger
De mandinga, catimba, mutreta
