Afoxé lorin, é lorin
Afoxé loriô, é loriô
Abrindo o portão imaginário
Do longínquo solo africano
A Cubango traz para o cenário
Afoxé, tema original
Do reino de Oloxum
Na festa de Domurixá
Em homenagem a Oxun
Deusa da nação Ijexá
Onde a figura principal
Era o boneco Babalotim
Mensageiro da alegria, da força do axé
Um ídolo menino, levado por menino em sua fé
E assim teve origem o afoxé
Afoxé lorin, é lorin
Afoxé loriô, é loriô
Nesta festa desfilavam com riquezas
Os soberanos orientais
O advinho joga búzios com presteza
Desvendando o futuro e o que ficou pra traz
Tem as cortes dos Reis Lobossi e Obá Alaké
Xangô em seu camelo sagrado
Esta é a história do afoxé
Que hoje desfila pelas ruas em rituais
Louvando os orixás
Ofi la laê, Olê loá
Ofi la laê, Olê loá
