Vamos todos defender as canções de antigamente
(Maracatu, Maracatu)
Maracatu é um estilo diferente
É a dança do nosso povo
Que morreu com o progresso
Eu quero vê-la de novo
Nas paradas de sucesso
Maracatu, Maracatu, Maracatu
Não sou índio nem escravo
Mas deles sou descendente
Sou feliz por ter nascido
Num país independente
Os nossos antepassado
Deixaram suas semente
Por isso eu vou defender
As canções de antigamente
Quero ver de norte ao sul
O nosso maracatu
Aplaudido por toda a gente
Maracatu, Maracatu, Maracatu
Vamos todos defender as canções de antigamente
Maracatu, Maracatu
Maracatu é um estilo diferente
Maracatu é brasileiro
É um estilo diferente
Nasceu lá em Pernambuco
Mas se acabou de repente
Revivendo a nossa história
Ele volta novamente
Ninguém mata as tradições
De um povo inteligente
Quero ver de norte ao sul
O nosso maracatu
Aplaudido por toda gente
Maracatu, Maracatu, Maracatu
Maracatu, Maracatu, Maracatu
