Salgueiro é a voz
Do nosso povo e desce o morro pra me coroar
Um céu de estrelas ilumina o picadeiro
Sou benjamin artista negro brasileiro
Eu que já nasci liberto
Mas vi de perto a dor da escravidão
Hoje o tambor me chama
Teu canto aclama nossa união
Meu sonho embarcou na caravana
Um salto em busca da felicidade
No circo a fantasia de criança
E como herança a luta pela igualdade
O samba me leva ôh
Me faz recordar eu vou salgueirar
O beijo moleque pra ser vencedor
Seguiu o caminho que o mestre ensinou
A vida me sorriu e fui palhaço
Nas veias corre o dom de emocionar
Se abriram as cortinas do teatro
E fiz o erudito popular
Otello, a viúva alegre até o guarani
Dei um rosto negro à peri
Espelho que eu vejo refletir
Em tantos por aí
Artistas precisam do aplauso dessa gente
O amor não há de ser inutilmente
A emoção que faz o elo da corrente
