Fiquei com pena dela
Que olhava da janela
Vendo a escola passar
Com os olhos rasos d’água
Não suportando a mágoa
Do que acabava de avistar
Era uma veterana
Que na ala das baianas
Era sempre a primeira
Tem recordação de bronze
Que ganhou na Praça Onze
Defendendo a Mangueira
Tem recordação de bronze
Que ganhou na Praça Onze
Defendendo a Mangueira
E hoje em seu rosto
Vejo lágrimas derramar
Está marcado, seu destino é penar
Em seu peito, já não tem voz para cantar
As cadeiras da velha baiana
Não têm mais ginga pra sambar
Lá lá ia, lá lá ia, lá iá, lá lá iá
Lá lá ia, lá lá ia, lá iá, lá lá iá
Lá lá ia, lá lá ia, lá iá, lá lá iá
(Bis)
