No dia em que eu cheguei do céu
Eu já batuquei na marimba
Na casa de Salustiel
Eu me batizei na curimba
Quando escuto tocar tocador
Tocar dança de São Gonçalo
E São Jorge no som do tambor
Me toma pra ser seu cavalo
Sou cavalo de santo
Montaria de Ogum
Sou de Ketu de Bantu
Quebrando quebranto na mão de Olorum
Ê Olorum de Dê
Ê Olorum de Dê
Ê Olorum de Dê
Ê Olorum de Dê
Pra me proteger contra o mal
Carrego uma bolsa de pano
Com dente de cobra coral
E a reza de São Cipriano
O meu corpo caboclo benzeu
Foi com seu penacho vermelho
Quando danço São Bartolomeu
Me pega pra seu aparelho
Vou batendo na conga
Vou tocando adarrum
É meu sabiá conga que leva a mironga
Na mão de Olorum
Ê Olorum de Dê
Ê Olorum de Dê
Ê Olorum de Dê
Ê Olorum de Dê
