Quem vem lá
Surgindo lá de trás do mar?
Será a Calunga, num vapor,
Trazendo de Luanda o amor?
Ê, gonguê,
Repica aí que eu quero ver
Moenda quero ver virar
Na hora em que o amor chegar.
O amor é rei
Nosso rei bantu
Sua voz é lei
No maracatu
Ê, Sinhá,
Prepara o caranguejo uçá
Refoga e escalda o sururu
Apura o vinho de caju.
Ê, Iaiá
Da ilha de Itamaracá,
Prepara a rede de tucum
Que o amor veio embolar mais um.
O amor é rei
Nosso rei bantu
Sua voz é lei
No maracatu
O amor é rei
Nosso rei bantu
Sua voz é lei
No maracatu
Ah mas quem vem lá
Surgindo lá de trás do mar?
Será a Calunga, num vapor,
Trazendo de Luanda o amor?
Ê, gonguê,
Repica aí que eu quero ver
Moenda quero ver virar
Na hora em que o amor chegar.
O amor é rei
Nosso rei bantu
Sua voz é lei
No maracatu
maracatu
