Maracatu que é pro nêgo dançar
Eu vou de capoeira
De gingado nagô
O meu rei é Zumbi
Ganga Zumba o mentor
Maracatu que é pro meu Rei dançar
Indignado vou reagir
Essa miséria não vai me sucumbir
A fome é filha da discriminação
E essa moldura envergonha a nação
Maracatu pra guerra começar
Eu vou de capoeria
De gingado nagô
Sou o novo Zumbi
Rei da paz e do amor
Maracatu pra o novo Rei dançar
Meus ancestrais sãos os Bantos de Angola
Que me deixaram esse som que é a glória
Maracatu pra o novo Rei dançar
