Dentro da roda ela trança, ela dança o axé
Minha menina, meu bem, Iaô
Tanta beleza na pele castanha-café
Subo na fé: Ladeira do Pelô
Sou capoeira na areia, sou paranauê
Seu candiá me faz endoidecer
Ilaiê! No meu peito o batuque, o auê
Foi o Deus Pã ou foi o canjerê?
Essa nuança, esse som, essa dança, essa cor
Vai dançarina Do povo ijexá!
Toda nobreza da raça, da casta nagô
Meu agogô, meu maxixe, oxá
Sou capoeira na areia, sou paranauê
Seu candiá me faz endoidecer
Ilaiê! No peito o batuque, o auê
Foi o Deus Pã ou foi o canjerê?
Urucungo, aluá, balangandã, abadá, banguelê
Gangazumba, gonguê, bambambã, jeguedê
Urucungo, aluá, balangandã, bamberê, banguelê
Gangazumba, gonguê jeribatá, jeguedê
Ô mucama, odara, orerê
Ô mucama, odara, orará
Ô mucama, odara, orerê
Ô mucama, odara, orará, ah!
