"Menino de barro"
(Valdir Santos)
Ê menino de barro
Vem pra rua cantar
Vem lampião clarear toda essa gente.
Vem num repente de Menezes e Caetano.
Desça ao som dos "pernambucapibanos".
De braço dado com Maria a mais bonita.
A voz que canta é a mesma voz que grita.
A lama do mangue deu à luz a um canto novo.
Pra ser a voz dessa nação nordestina.
Ariano sua sina é escrever para o povo.
Um sopro de Deus nas ventas de Januário
Cria um cenário de total inspiração.
Para o Baião nasce o rei Luiz Gonzaga
E para o mundo Gonzaga rei do Baião.
Feitos a mão pelo mestre Vitalino
E por Galdino em seus sonhos delirantes.
Anjos cantantes tocam pífano e zabumba
Misturam Forró com Rumba num "Baião de três" dançante.
Farra e Forró, Jucélio (Elifas) e Salustiano.
Lenine e Suzano, mestres meninos de Ambrósio.
Chico, Nação, Cascabulho, Selma e Lia.
Jacinto, tanta alegria é o povo pernambucano.
