Que doce mistério
Abriga teu dorso
De ilha afogada
No curso das mágoas?
O Velho Bahira
Se mira nas águas
Espelho da lua
Narciso nheengara
É Marapatá, porta de Manaus
É Marapatá, patati patatá
Que mana maninha
Que dança sozinha
Savana de seda
Pavana de cio
Campim canarana
Bubuia banzando
Canção enrugada
Banzeiro de rio
Vá logo deixando
Senhor forasteiro
A sua vergonha
Em Marapatá
Vergonha se verga
Na cuia do ventre
No V da ilhargas
Vincando por lá
Cunhã se arretando
Tesão de mormaço
Abrindo as entranhas
A flor do tajá
E o macho fungando
Flechando, fisgando
Mordendo a leseira
Dizendo: "Ulha já!"
