Pérola, negra pérola Ilê
Pérola, negra pérola
A Teogonia de um mito
É a expressão de um dogma
Ganealogia da fé e da razão,
do meu cantar...
Vem de Nagô-Ilê
Cantando o mundo negro, a narrar
A compilação
E a ordenação do orixá
Arê rê Aiyê,
Orixá loma
Onixaurê
Meu povo negro, onixauera
Arê rê Aiyê,
Canto negro, escravocrata;
Onixaurê,
Meu povo negro onixauera
Senzala, meu canto, senzala
No cabando kaiá
No cabando Ilê aê, aê, kaiá
Vinte anos de Ilê
Aê, aê, kaiá
Cabando Ilê aê, aê, kaiá
É de mãe, é de fé
É mangerê, mãe Soró...
É de Ilê Aiyê, Olorum, Deus Maó
