Disciplina, mistério e magia,
Casa Fant Ashanti
Rota do tambor
Recebia o nome de Sofia
Massinokou Alapong Cufô
Mãe de santo bem sucedida
Assim chegou ao Brasil
Vendida como escrava
Muitas coisas ela assumiu
Fundou o terreiro do Egito
Tenda de São Jorge, Ourã da Nação
E hoje assim se consagra
Rota dos tambores no Maranhão
Boi bumbar, boi bumbar,
Zabumba, ê
Meu boi bumbar
Boi bumbar, boi bumbar,
Olha a dança do boi
Boi bumbar, boi bumbar,
Zabumba, ê
Meu boi bumbar
Boi bumbar, boi bumbar,
Olha a dança do boi
Recebendo entidades de linha, Gegê e Nagô
Dim, dim, dim do agôgô
Vó Serena era considerada, ser mais forte,
O som do seu tambor
Se junta o sagrado e o profano,
No cortejo de rara beleza
Oh, divino Espírito Santo
Protetor dessa dessa minha raça negra
Oh, divino Espírito Santo
Protetor dessa dessa minha raça negra
(Refrão)
Da uma punga, umbigada na outra,
Faz parte da dança tambor de criola
Encosta barriga com barriga
Girando, girando
Passando uma pra outra
Encosta barriga com barriga
Girando, girando
Passando uma pra outra
