Dandara do meu quilombo
Me faz livre e voar
Rainha do meu congo
Me dá forças pra lutar
Ê Dandara
Bota a cangalha de roupa pra lavar
Bota a mandinga no seu patuá
Você vai pra guerra nego
Eu espero você voltar
Vai meu guerreiro
Leva a libertação
Leva a coragem no peito
E na mão o meu coração
E toda vez que ele vai
Não vai com ele a aflição
Espero vê-lo de novo
Voltando em seu alazão
Dandara do meu quilombo
Me faz livre voar
Rainha do meu congo
Me dá forças pra lutar
O vento avisou
Lá vai o rei novamente
Corajosamente, amargamente
Segura as mãos de Dandara
Promete mais uma volta
E Dandara chora
Dandara chora
Pois seu guerreiro não volta
Anunciam
Os ventos
A emboscada
Sinto no peito essa encruzilhada
Ela mandou dizer
Mamãe mandou dizer
Iansã anunciou
A morte chegando
