Fez mandinga

Fez mandinga ô ô

Para que os meus caminhos se fechassem

Para que os inimigos comigo cruzassem

Ô... fez mandinga

Ô curimbá

Bambaleê! Curimbá! Bambaleê

Ô saravá nos terreiros d'Angola!

Agô! Agô todos os Orixás!

Num batucajé que vai ao longe eu canto pro meu pai Oxalá!

Oxalá!

O meu povo tá doente.

Dê proteção pra essa gente

Que já não sabe o que faz.

Oxalá!

Ogum mandou me dizer

Que é pra eu pedir pra você

Que ele só não pode mais.

São muitos guerreiros brancos

Na frente, atrás, nos flancos!

De histórias pré-fabricadas

De gritos alucinantes

E cordas desafinadas.

Fazendo um ruído louco

Deixando o ouvido mouco.

Batam palmas para nada!

Oxalá!

Meu samba virou segredo.

O meu povo tá doente

Minha gente tá com medo.

Oxalá!

Três dias é pouco pra gente sambar

No batucajé que vai ao longe eu canto pro meu pai Oxalá
