Negro
Balduíno, belo negro baldo
Filho malcriado de uma velha tia
Via com seus olhos de menino esperto
Luzes onde luzes não havia
Cresce, vira um forte, evita a morte breve
Leve, gira o pé na capoeira, luta
Bruta como a pedra, sua vida inteira
Cheira a manga-espada e maresia
Tinha a guia que lhe deu
Jubiabá
Que lhe deu
Jubiabá
A guia
Trava com o destino uma batalha cega
Pega da navalha e retalha a barriga
Fofa, tão inchada e cheia de lombriga
Da monstra miséria da
Bahia
Leva uma trombada do amor cigano
Entra pelo cano do esgoto e pula
Chula na quadrilha da festa junina
Todo santo de vida vadia
Tinha a guia que lhe deu
Jubiabá
Que lhe deu
Jubiabá
A guia
Alva como algodão e tão macia
Como algo bom pra lhe estancar o sangue
Como álcool pra desinfetar-lhe o corte
Como cura para a hemorragia
Moça
Lindinalva, morta, vira fardo
Carga para os ombros, suor para o rosto
Luta no labor, novo sabor, labuta
Feito a mão e não mais por magia
Tinha a guia que lhe deu
Jubiabá
Que lhe deu
Jubiabá
A guia
Negro
Balduíno, belo negro baldo
Saldo de uma conta da história crua
Rua, pé descalço, liberdade nua
Um rei para o reino da alegria
Tinha a guia que lhe deu
Jubiabá
Que lhe deu
Jubiabá
