Odilê, odilá
O que vem fazer aqui meu irmão
Vim sambar
Ô di lê, ô di lá
Que vem fazer aqui meu irmão
Vim sambar, obá
Entra na corrente
Corpo, mente
Coração, pulmão
Pra junto com a gente viajar
Na energia-som
Que veio de longe atravessou raio e trovão
Pra cair no samba e receber a vibração
Odilê, odilá...
Com a negrada do Harlem Jesus Cristo
Também vem
E pra sair do transe só com sino de Belém
Que faz romaria e procissão, samba também
E quem ta comigo, ta com o povo do além
Odilê, odilá...
Quem samba, se sobe tem combá tem furufim
Teve um olho d´água
E um sorrido de marfim
Se volta beijada é pigmeu ou curumim
Vira um preto velho pra sambar com a gente assim
Odilê, odilá...
Preta velha bate pé, bate colhe levanta pó
Dá marafo pro Odilê e solta logo seu gogó
Odilá de madrugada nem sem viola ta só
Pois ta com axá da velha nega preta sua vó
Odilê, odilá
