Portela Feliz

Teus cavaquinhos, teus pandeiros
E as tuas cuícas
Teus tamborins, chocalhos e surdos
São uma tentação
Quem é que vem lá?
É o povo que diz
É a Portela, Portela feliz
Com a Velha Guarda
É uma tradição
Sua juventude bem vibrante a cantar
Um samba natural de Osvaldo Cruz
Que sem vaidade
Sempre deixa uma saudade
Portela do Paulo e do Claudionor
E de outros saudosos sambistas
Que Deus do Céu já levou
(Portela querida)
Não se humilha a ninguém
A todos que muito bem
Seu negócio é sambar
Eu falo assim porque sou
Um dos poetas de lá.
