Ahh foi como apagar da luz
E a alegria em nosso rosto
O pranto veio remover e fez
Fez a caixa emudecer sedenta de alegria
Dói mas a Portela canta
Vai nessa noite sem luar
Sua alma com cuíca chora
E com a voz do seu terreiro
Ocupará o seu lugar
Voando nos anais da historia
Em que nenhum mortal te alcançará
Diz ai que eu vou voltar
Candeia é a luz dessa noite
Alcides Histórico é o dia
Caetano, Rufino lembrar
Vestida de azul e branco
O Paulo das oliveiras
Na Boaventura chegar
Diz ai que eu vou voltar
