O rei chegou
E atrás dele o povo inteiro
E o rei mandou
Nem ligar pro rei guerreiro
E o povo em bando
Faz-me chama a seu comando
E a cidade iluminou
O rei chegou
Porque o povo é o rei primeiro
E o rei mandou
Porque era fevereiro
E o povo em bando
Saiu na rua cantando
Quando o dia clareou
Apesar de passageiro
Seu reinado eternizou
Mas o rei jurou
Através dos carnavais
Mas o que o mal do rei é o bem
Que o rei jurou
E um rei não volta atrás
O rei chegou
Mas pro nosso desespero
O rei mandou
E era a voz do rei guerreiro
E o povo em bando
Desta vez saiu chorando
Porque tudo se acabou
