O vento soprou na mata
E´ som de tambor meu senhor
Toque de tambor da mata
Nego veio perguntou
E´ de minas
E´ tambor
De crioula
E´ tambor
E´ de indio
E´ tambor
E´ de gegê
E´ tambor
De madrugada o canto do galo me acordou
Tô na rua e o dia ainda nem raiou
São Benedito já ta chamando negra cor
Tá na hora, esquenta o couro desse tambor
E´ de minas
E´ tambor
De crioula
E´ tambor
E´ de indio
E´ tambor
E´ de gegê
E´ tambor
De madrugada o canto do galo me acordou
Tô na rua e o dia ainda nem raiou
São Benedito já ta chamando negra cor
Tá na hora, esquenta o couro desse tambor
E´ de minas
E´ tambor
De crioula
E´ tambor
E´ de indio
E´ tambor
E´ de gegê
E´ tambor
Se não é de preto
É de indio esse tambor
