Favela
Do camisa preta
Dos sete coroas
Pra ver o teu samba
Favela
Era criança na praça onze
Eu corria pra te ver desfilar
Favela
Queremos teu samba
Teu samba era quente
Fazia meu povo vibrar
Até a lua a lua cheia
Sorria, sorria
Milhões de estrelas brilhavam por um lugar melhor
Queriam ver a Portela
Mangueira estarcio de sá
E a favela com as suas baianas tradicionais
Brilhavam mais do que a luz do antigo lampião a gás
Fragmentos de brilhantes
Como fogos de artifícios
Desprendiam lá do céu
E caiam como flores na cabeça das pastoras
E do samba de Noel
Correrias e empurrões
Gritarias e aplausos
E o sino da capela não parava de bater
Os malandros vinham ver
Se o samba estava certo, se
Enquanto as cabrochas
Gingavam no seu rebolado
No ritmo da batucada
De olho cumprido
Que nem bobinho
Eu terminava durmindo na calçada
De olho cumprido
Que nem bobinho
Eu acabava durmindo na calçada
