Por onde andei
Ouvi falar do Ilê Aiyê
Busquei nos versos
Um alento, um amor
Nos quatro cantos
Num só canto uma nação
Falou mais alto
Pois negro não cansou
Ilê é forte
Faz a terra até tremer
As nossas lágrimas
Um oceano se tornou
Havi mulheres muito tristes
A implorar por um carinho
E encontrar um desamor
Eu sou Ilê
Sou Ilê Aiyê
Um instrumento da raça
Eu sou negro cultura
Eu sou do Ilê Aiyê
Faca de ponta
De dois gumes nos feriu
Rasgando o peito perfurou os corações
Jorrando sangue sobre a terra
O pó do homem
Homens de garra estrutura o Ilê Aiyê
Dez anos se foram
Como se fossem dez dias
No dia a dia
O Ilê Aiyê se consagrou
E hoje juntos
A este bloco podem ver
A alegria que tudo superou
