Eu cheguei vestido de rei
Quem me chamou
Eu cheguei vestido de rei
Mutalambô
Eu vi que o vento zuniu
Eu vi que a folha caiu
Eu vi que relampeou
Eu vi que a mata rompeu
Eu vi que a flecha correu
Eu vi que a porta bateu
Chegou meu pai caçador
Eu cheguei vestido de rei…
É o dono do matagal
É guardião do embornal
É o chefe da guarnição
Ele é da casa real
Ele é quem briga com o mal
Ele é o meu capitão
