África é lenda, é poesia
E inspira o Boi da Ilha a cantar
Canto à justiça na cultura Yorubá
Saudades de Xangô sente Oxalá
Filho distante coração quer visitar
Sobre o destino consultou babalaô
Há sofrimento e dor no longo caminhar
Surge Exú na viagem
Vai com dendê, adin e carvão
Sujar as roupas do rei (do rei)
A injustiça se apresenta ao Orixá
Nos soldados de Xangô ô, ô, ô, ô
A prisão de Oxalá, pai Oxalá (bis)
A miséria se espalhou, sete anos em Oyó
Tudo tinha que mudar
Liberdade
Das águas do senhor felicidade
Liberdade, o perdão, a igualdade
Salve a força da fé
Nos traga o axé, oh Oxaguiã
Na Lavagem do Bomfim
Romaria e devoção
Caminham os fiés
Com fogos a saudar
As águas de Oxalá
Tem água de cheiro
Baiana a girar (bis)
Meu povo cantando
A paz vai reinar
