Mandei preparar o terreiro
Que já vem chegando o dia
Encourar meu pandeiro
Pra entrar na folia
E quando começar o pagode
Pego o pandeiro caio na orgia
Meu avo preto de Angola
Me ensinava a cantoria
Foi herança de um passado
Quando fez a travessia
Na bagagem a esperança
Consciência e valentia
Capoeira quilombola
Derrubava e não caia
Eh, jongueiro
Bate no couro
Que tem festa no terreiro
No dizer de minha avó
Sambador não tem valia
Samba nunca deu camisa
Minha avó sempre dizia
Sambador não ganha nada
Vive na calçada
E não cuida da família
Mandei preparar o terreiro
Que já vem chegando o dia
