Nesta ciranda é que eu vou
Contagiando essa cidade
Hoje eu quero paz, amor
E um mundo de felicidade
Okê, okê
Sou Viradouro, Vira-Mundo eu sou
Escravizado, sem destino
Meu desatino, meu dissabor
Pra vencer os grilhões do dia a dia
Pra esquecer a solidão, a agonia
É carnaval, o meu peito explode de alegria
E no encontro com o rei
Eu também sou um rei nesta magia
Em liberdade eu peço axé
Vou na onda do afoxé
Os negros na sua fé, trazendo a paz
No canto dos orixás
E nas visões dos Xamãs, a cura
Que a raça vermelha traz
Ao som dos gurus, um manto em harmonia
Vêm chegando os povos amarelos
Com incenso que nos contagia
Então, em forma de oração
A raça branca faz a sintonia
E nesta festa de coroação
O rei do mundo é o rei da folia
