Descoberto o Brasil na Bahia
Revela a história e alguém já dizia
O que Cabral não descobriu direito
Agora pode ser real
A reforma agrária é um desejo
De todo povo ocidental
E quando a seca já chegava
Nada vingava, ninguém resistia
O sol ardente que o solo rachava
O rio que secava e o povo que partia
Seguindo a estrada sem rumo, sem nada
Mas mesmo sofrendo o menino dizia
Seu vileiro tocador
Seu sanfoneiro
Toque a dor pra lá
Salve o coração do agreste
Pois o povo Nordeste
Não pode acabar (bis)
E quando aqui chegava
Na cidade grande nada acontecia
Não havia emprego, não havia nada
O seu ideal virou fantasia
Olhe o nordeste seu cabra peste
Que o afro Olodum
Será nosso guia
