Ontem estive no morro
E voltei chorando meu povo sofrendo
Crianças penando
Morro sem malandro que já tem senhor
(Vejam só)
Disseram que compraram o morro
Estão derrubando os barracos de zinco
Estão se acabando
Pra morar no morro tem que ser doutor
Mudaram o meu povo pra longe, bem distante
A onde Deus não faz morada
Que culpa tenho eu se nasci pobre
Se não posso levar vida de nobre
Meu salário não dá se quer pra alimentar
E as crianças não entendem o porque
Que eu nada mais posso oferecer
E nem eu posso entender
Mais um dia
Hei de ver o meu povo feliz a cantar
Lalaialalalaia
