Vá dizer pra ela que o curral do samba é a passarela,
vá dizer pra ela que o rio de janeiro todo é uma favela,
senhor, candeia, noel, cartola, adoniram
vá dizer pra ela que o rio de janeiro todo é uma favela,
vá dizer pra ela que o som que eu faço vem lá da favela,
me vem na memória as rodas de samba
é batuque na palma da mão
roda de samba de bamba
velha guarda, portela
velha guarda, mangueira
viola, jamelão
vá dizer pra ela que o curral do samba é a passarela,
vá dizer pra ela que o rio de janeiro todo é uma favela,
de madureira à sepetiba, passando por santa cruz,
bate bola de bixiga de boi
bate bola de sebo de bixiga de boi
é nos terreiros do samba
que a molecada cresce e ama sua escola
e faz as mãos e os pés sangrar
quando os anos passam
quando ele se emociona
de ver sua escola ganhar
