África encanto e magia
Berço da sabedoria
Razão do meu cantar
Nasceu a liberdade a ferro e fogo
A Mãe Negra abriu o jogo
Fez o povo delirar
Deixa falar, ô, ô, ô
Deixa falar, ô, iaiá
Esse batuque gostoso não pode parar
Entra na roda ioiô
Entra na roda iaiá
Lá vem Portela é melhor se segurar
Axé vem de Luanda
Sacode negritude da cidade
Trazendo a bandeira do samba
N'apoteose na felicidade
Samba é nó na madeira
É moleque mestiço
Foi preciso bancar
Resistência que a força não calou
Arte de improvisar
Capoeira
O samba vai levantar poeira
Tem zoeira
Em Oswaldo Cruz e Madureira
