A mão da maldade e ambição
Arrancou a rosa de pétalas escuras
Trazendo do negro continente
A maravilhosa criatura
Era a traiçoeira escravidão
Causando muita dor e sofrimento
O mar ouviu em noite fria
Um canto de dor e de lamento
O mar ouviu em noite fria
Um canto de dor e de lamento
Xangô ôôô porque tanta maldade?
Valei-me meu senhor só lhe peço liberdade
Xangô ôôô porque tanta maldade?
Valei-me meu senhor só lhe peço liberdade
E assim a negra Catarina
Chegou a São Luiz do Maranhão
Com a força de sua beleza
Livrou-se da tristeza da escravidão
E no beco da calçada
A escrava transformou-se em rica dama
Pela renascença hoje lembrada
Pois seu povo não esquece sua fama
Linda negra bronzeada escultural
Muito ouro e pé no chão
Catarina genial
Linda negra bronzeada escultural
Muito ouro e pé no chão
Catarina genial
