Eu sou nagô
Lá da Costa da Mina
Eu sou de lá, do lado de lá da maré
Carregando a minha sina
Fui levando a minha fé
Do açúcar pra o ouro
Do ouro para o café
Cortaram a minha alegria
Mas nasceu outra raiz
Depois arrancaram o meu peito
E eu vivi da cicatriz
Exeiê Babá
Exeiê Babá
Olha eu trouxe Milho branco
Pro pilão de Oxalá
No candomblé do Engenho Velho
Eu entrei pra me benzer
Tinha palha pra descanso
E água fria pra beber
A água veio da fonte
A fonte eu não sei responder
Eu não sei responder
A menina da fonte é quem pode dizer
Se o azul é de Oxossi
O branco de babá Okê
Oxum bordou seu vestido
Com a cor do amanhecer
Oxum é uma criança
Que esqueceu de envelhecer
E toda vez que ela dança
A fonte para de gemer
Oraê ê lê ô
Ora lá ê lê ô
