Viva, viva, viva a capoeira
Viva, viva o som do berimbau
Quando os negros chegaram ao Brasil
Capoeira se manifestou
Defendendo nossa pátria varonil
Foi quem mais corpo a corpo lutou
E o presente do negro era o cativeiro
Viva, viva, viva a capoeira
Viva, viva o som do berimbau
Pra poder livrar nossa Bahia
Do regime colonial
Foi preciso tocar a corneta
E juntar toda classe social
Capoeira com bravura e resistência
No caminho da Independência
Fez a Bahia se libertar
E o presente do negro era o cativeiro
Viva, viva, viva a capoeira
Viva, viva o som do berimbau
Viva os mestres Nô, Pelé da Bomba, Boa Gente e Geni
Marcos Alabama, Virgílio, Dedé, Curió e Saci
Essa arte agradece a todos um berimbau de ouro
Porque a capoeira é o nosso maior tesouro
Pois viva
