Três Raças Tristes

O índio amigo
Perdeu terras
Perceu mar
Perdeu sua inocência
E seus rios de pescar
O negro alegre
Do seu lar se separou
Perdeu sua liberdade
Na senzala então cantou
O branco trouxe
Sua fé sua ambição
Tudo que ele acreditava
Fosse a civilização
Muita coisa se perdeu
Muito grito o mar levou
Mas o sangue não se esquece
Muita dor se misturou
Curimã, curiê
Tudo em volta ainda sangra
De três raças tristes
Foi que nasceu meu samba
