Ouvi tambor tocar na cachoeira
Era capoeira, canto que vem de além-mar
Pai Oxalá e Oxum tavam na beira
E Mãe Iemanjá tava no rio a se banhar
As negras tocavam, os negros dançavam num misto de fé e alegria
O tambor tocava, o som ecoava, sem saber pra onde ia
De repente, chegou gente e ali se formou multidão
Tinha branco, tinha preto, tinha gente de toda cor
Todos juntos numa reza, pra pedir a paz
Ouvi tambor tocar na cachoeira
Era capoeira, canto que vem de além-mar
Pai Oxalá e Oxum tavam na beira
E Mãe Iemanjá tava no rio a se banhar
Tambor tocou e trouxe a esperança
E todo mundo se juntou à dança
Adulto, velho, jovem e criança
São todos gente que nunca se cansa de lutar por um mundo melhor
Capoeira, capoeira, paranauê!
Capoeira, capoeira, paraná!
Capoeira, capoeira, paranauê!
Capoeira, capoeira, paraná!
Ouvi tambor tocar na cachoeira
Ouvi tambor tocar na cachoeira
Ouvi tambor tocar, ouvi tambor tocar
Ouvi tambor tocar na cachoeira...
