Dedê, alaiô
Sou um filho de Oxalá
E Obá de Xangô
Dedê, alaiô
Sou um filho de Oxalá
E Obá de Xangô
Capoeira da Bahia de todos os santos
Em noite de candomblé
Seu amor procurou
Depois de correr à praia, todos os cantos
Nas mãos de um outro homem seu bem encontrou
Capoeira da Bahia sem alma fechada
Sentiu no seu coração soar o berimbau
E até hoje na Bahia a luta é lembrada
Capoeira parecia tomado de Exu
Capoeira então cantava os cantos de Omolu
Na roda, rodava a senha de seu protetor
Dede, dede, dede, alaiô
Sou bom filho de Oxalá
E Obá de Xangô
Dede, dede, dede, alaiô
Sou bom filho de Oxalá
E Obá de Xangô
