Preto Velho

Ai, Ai, Ai, Preto Velho pediu meu bem
Um trago, um traguinho
Um trago do meu mé
Chinelo de couro, cachimbo de pau
A nau que flutua na beira do mar
Anel de brilhante, rabo de arraia
Batuque chocalha o balanço do mar
A sereia meu bem, a sereia cantou
Um canto tão lindo e a viola chorou
A lua brilhou, yemanjá despertou
E todo terreiro se iluminou
E o amor veio do mar
Sem ter medo de concretizar
O Deus que ilumina
Minha viola, meu canto e meu ar
