Grande Otelo

Santa Cruz vem aí,
Pode aplaudir
De sorriso aberto,
Meu Rio te abraça
Grande guerreiro,
Otelo pra sempre
No coração da gente
Voa óh! Negra estrela
Livre a brilhar no céu
Venceu desatinos,
Rompeu preconceitos
Da sociedade inverte o papel
"Garoto" traçou seu destino
No circo um olhar de esperança
No tempo que corre a lembrança
"Em cena" a felicidade
Aplausos por toda uma vida
Otelo... Eterna saudade
Axé, bate forte o tambor
Na fé de umbanda o amor
É louvação para os orixás
Alegria em notas musicais
Boêmio, na arte se fez seu cantar
Um gênio a todos iluminar
Oh! Praça onze, um samba imortal
Teatro de revista, talento magistral
E foi ganhar o mundo inteiro
Noites carioca, cinema ao luar
De fato, retrato da nação
Uma escola de interpretação
Ô yaô! Yaô quanto amor
Chuá, chuá, deixa a água rolar
Prata da noite que me faz sonhar
