Ribeira, eu peço licença
Pra as águas do mar, olokum
Yê olokum, yá olokum
São pontos de areia
Os destinos brilhando num só
Olokum
Yê olokum, yá olokum
As águas salgadas
Os homens sujaram o mar, olokum
Yê olokum, yá olokum
Vamos salvar o dique do tororó
Bahia de todos os santos
Sol e areia, êa, êa, êa
Perpetuar
Aqueles que nos dão
A maré vazia e também a maré cheia
