Um samba
O prazer à sombra num sol de verão
Repouso
No samba
Não ouso pedir mais do meu violão
Que as asas
De um samba
Prum vôo na nave da inspiração
E um pouso
Suave
No telhado estrelado de um barracão
Da imaginação
Um samba
Tomara que as eras que ainda virão
E as feras
Uivantes
Dos alto-falantes da nova canção
Devorem
De um samba
As vísceras cruas de fogo e paixão
E as ruas
Repletas
Celebrem tambores de um mundo pagão
De um samba
