São Salvador, Bahia
São Salvador, Bahia
A tarde morria devagar
E berimbáu se ouvia
Gente na rua a passar
Alguém no desejo da briga
Fazia cantiga de provocar
São Salvador, Bahia
E um homem passando escutou
Isso é comigo e parou
Se quer jogar, vamos já
Eu ia pra lá mas não vou
E dizendo se ajoelhou
São Salvador, Bahia
Quem estava por perto chegou
Dois homens fizeram oração
Começaram jogando no chão
Jogaram Angola, Santa Maria
São Bento Pequeno, Cavalaria
E o povo assistia, tremendo
Capoeira pra matar
Faca de ponta, rabo de arraia
Na dança da morte do lugar
São Salvador, Bahia
Quando a Policia chegou
Um corpo no chão, havia
Em volta o silencio dizendo
Seu moço, essa briga acabou
Seu moço, essa briga acabou
São Salvador, Bahia
