Quem foi que fez brasileiro
Bater tambor de jongo?
De onde é que sai quem batuca
Com o pé terno-de-congo?
Quem é, me ensina quem foi
Que fez o povo dançar
Tambor-de-mina, Bumba-meu-boi
Boi-bumbá, o bambaquerê
O samba, o ijexá
Quando o Brasil resolveu cantar?
Quem foi que pôs o lamento
Na voz da lavadeira?
Quem fez aqui baticum
Candomblé e a capoeira?
Quem trouxe o maracatu?
Quem fez o maculelê
Mineiro-pau, coco, caxambu
Banguelê, a xiba, o lundu
O cateretê
Quando o Brasil resolveu cantar?
Me diz quem foi que fez
A dor se transformar
Em som de carnaval
Em batucada
Em melodia?
Que força fez mudar
Toda tristeza
Em alegria
Quando o Brasil resolveu cantar?
