Eu ando pelo recife, noites sem fim
Percorro bairros distantes sempre a escutar
Luanda, luanda, onde está?
É alma de preto a penar
Recife, cidade lendária
De pretas de engenho cheirando a banguê
Recife de velhos sobrados, compridos, escuros
Faz gosto se ver
Recife teus lindos jardins
Recebem a brisa que vem do alto mar
Recife teu céu tão bonito
Tem noites de lua pra gente cantar
Recife de cantadores
Vivendo da glória, em pleno terreiro
Recife dos maracatus
Dos tempos distantes de pedro primeiro
Responde ao que eu vou perguntar:
Que é feito dos teus lampiões?
Onde outrora os boêmios cantavam
Suas lindas canções
