Tambor tocou pelos ares
Que nem se fosse Vudu.
Não sei se foi de Palmares,
Não sei se foi do Xingu.
Bateu pelos sete mares
Dobrando em seu couro cru.
Tocou por tantos lugares
Sons de Tupã e de Exu.
Tambor repica e retumba,
Branco tem medo de ouvir.
Não sei se foi Ganga-zumba,
Não sei se foi Raoni.
Se é do quilombo a quizumba,
Se é da nação guarani.
Tambor de guerra ou macumba,
Juca-pirama ou Zumbi.
Tambor tem toque de ataque,
Bate Quarupe e lundu.
Bate na língua aruaque,
Na língua de preto-tu.
Quando retumba o atabaque,
Isso pro branco é tabu.
Na pajelança ou no baque,
Solto de um maracatu.
