Era assim, era assim
No tempo do cativeiro, cativeiro
Que o negro apanhava
Apanhava o dia inteiro
Apanhava o dia inteiro
Mas a noite na senzala (laiá lalaiá lalaiá laiá)
Só o batuque é quem falava (laiá lalaiá lalaiá laiá)
Falava um lamento de dor
No toque do seu tambor
No toque do seu tambor
Tuna macurucaiaô, tuna maculaô
Tuna macurucaiaô, tuna maculaô
Tuna macurucaiaô, tuna maculaô
Enquanto mãe preta cantava (laiá lalaiá lalaiá laiá)
Marcando na palma da mão (laiá lalaiá lalaiá laiá)
Um batuque assim marcava
A grande ocasião
A grande ocasião
Era mais um aniversário (laiá lalaiá lalaiá laiá)
Conselheiro Pai João (laiá lalaiá lalaiá laiá)
Sentado num tronco ele estava
De chapéu de palha e pé no chão
De chapéu de palha e pé no chão
Tuna macurucaiaô, tuna maculaô
Tuna macurucaiaô, tuna maculaô
Tuna macurucaiaô, tuna maculaô
