Zumbi dos Palmares, Zumbi

Zumbi dos Palmares, Zumbi
Zumbi Zumbi
Zumbi
Zumbi dos Palmares, Zumbi

Liderou o quilombo nação jabuti racial
Proibia descriminação de maneira qualquer
Entre jovens e idosos
Crianças e adultos
Guerreiros e excepcionais
Índios, caboclos
Negros e brancos
Além de entre homem e mulher

Zumbi, Zumbi
Zumbi dos Palmares, Zumbi

Zumbi, Zumbi
Zumbi dos Palmares, Zumbi

Sonhou criar um estado com o seu coração
Pernambuco até as Alagoas ser o mesmo chão
Não morreu porque mais do que gente
Ele era ideais
E os grandes ideais não morrem jamais

Rei Zumbi
Rei Zumbi
Rei Zumbi
Zumbi dos Palmares, Zumbi

Rei Zumbi
Rei Zumbi
Rei Zumbi
Zumbi dos Palmares, Zumbi
Zumbi
Zumbi dos Palmares, Zumbi
Zumbi, Zumbi

Então surgiram aos milhares por estes brasis
Quilombos, Mocambos, Palmares e novos Zumbis
Que até hoje norteiam
Cabeças pensantes
Pregando a miscigenação
De um povo que canta
Que dança e proclama
Zumbi eis a tua nação

Rei Zumbi
Rei Zumbi
Rei Zumbi
Zumbi dos Palmares, Zumbi
Rei Zumbi
Oh Zumbi és um rei Zumbi, oh Zumbi

Rei Zumbi
Zumbi dos Palmares, Zumbi
Zumbi, Zumbi
Zumbi, Zumbi
Zumbi
