Herança negra soou na avenida
Chegou a Band feliz da vida
Vem que o meu canto ecoou
Ao som do tambor
Os negros que vieram de além mar
Escravizados pela força da ambição
A corte portuguesa a explorar o nosso chão
A mão semeando essa terra
Bateu no couro e colheu a liberdade
O som do atabaque com o tempo mudou
Esse batuque é nagô
É negro sim senhor
Ilê aie Bahia
Roda baiana na batida do timbal
Pras Yabás eu peço axé
Nessa levada eu vou no embalo do afoxé
Ê, tem festa
De norte à sul desse país
Sou garantido ou caprichoso
É boi-bumbá em Parintins
Em Minas Gerais tem o congado viva Chico Rei
Deixa a sombrinha girar e o frevo conquista vocês
Oi puxa o fole que a zabumba anuncia é o forró da alegria
Nós acordes de um violão
O chorinho vem bordando essa canção
Quem diria que o samba ia chegar onde chegou
A batucada virou arte cultural
Enredo do meu carnaval
