Samba é de Eleguá
Como a régua é de medir e de traçar
Como a trégua é o momento de parar
E a mágoa é pra calar
Samba é de Eleguá
Como a água é de beber e de lavar
Como a língua é pra comer e pra falar
Como a légua é caminhar
Eleguá é viajeiro
Mensageiro de Iorubá
Como o samba é timoneiro
Do pandeiro e do ganzá
Eleguá é meu tambor
Como o samba também é
Ele é guarda de meu corpo,
Meu caminho e minha fé
Caminha, meu samba, anda
Pela régua de Eleguá
Coloca a moçada louca
Pela boca de Eleguá
