Ilu Ayê
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ilu ayê, ilu ayê, odara
Negro cantava na nação nagô
Depois chorou lamentos de senzala
Tão longe estava de sua ilu ayê
Tempo passou e no terreirão da casa grande
Negro diz tudo que pode dizer
É samba, é batuque, é reza
É dança, é ladainha
Negro joga capoeira
E faz louvação à rainha
Hoje, negro é terra
Negro é vida
Na mutação do tempo
Desfilando na avenida
Negro é sensacional
É toda festa do povo
É dono do carnaval
