Canta, canta, minha gente
Deixa a tristeza pra lá
Canta forte, canta alto
Que a vida vai melhorar
Cantem o samba-de-roda
O samba-canção e o samba rasgado
Cantem o samba-de-breque
O samba moderno e o samba quadrado
Cantem ciranda, o frevo
O coco, maxime, baião e xaxado
Mas não cante essa moça bonita
Porque ela está com o marido do lado
Canta, canta, minha gente
Deixa a tristeza pra lá
Canta forte, canta alto
Que a vida vai melhorar
Quem canta seus males espanta
Lá em cima do morro ou sambando no asfalto
Eu canto o samba-enredo
Um sambinha lento e um partido-alto
Há muito tempo não ouço
O tal do samba sincopado
Só não dá pra cantar mesmo
É vendo o sol nascer quadrado
