Vem
Do Orum o que o santo criou e na terra caiu
Ijexá
Quem interpretou foi Bahia
Nos guizos de um belo Ganzá
Tem a magia do embalar
E a cor mais linda azeviche se torna criança
Nos braços do Orixá
Nigéria foi sua mãe
Da parte de Ilesa
Do povo Iorubá
Oxum seu orixá
África, Candomblé
Batuque ancestro lá
Gã, Rum, Rumpi e Lé
Velho som Ijexá
Ôooo
Oxum ora ye ye ô
Ôooo
Velho som Ijexá
Foi
Baba Miloquê, Patuscada de Gandhi, Shazan
Ijexá
Na história afoxé da Bahia
Badauê, Oju Obá
Tem Gil e Clara no caminhar
Ijexá não é novo
Ijexá negritude é herança
De encruzas e mandigas
Nigéria foi sua mãe
Da parte de Ilesa
Do povo Iorubá
Oxum seu orixá
África, Candomblé
Batuque ancestro lá
Gã, Rum, Rumpi e Lé
Velho som Ijexá
Ôooo
Oxum ora ye ye ô
Ôooo
Velho som Ijexá
