No cais dourado da velha Bahia
Onde estava o capoeira
A Iaiá também se via
Juntos na feira ou na romaria
No banho de cachoeira
E também na pescaria
Dançavam juntos
Em todo fandango e festinha
E no reisado
Contra mestre e pastorinha
Cantavam, iaiaralaiá, iaiá
Nas festas do alto do Cantuá
Mas loucamente
A Iaiá do cais dourado trocou seu amor
Ardente por um moço requintado
E foi-se embora
Passear de barco à vela
Desfilando em carruagem
Já não era mais aquela
E o capoeira
Que era valente chorou
Até que um dia a mulata
Lá no cais apareceu
Ao ver o seu capoeira
Pra ele logo correu
Pediu guarida
Mas o capoeira não deu
Desesperada
Caiu no mundo a vagar
E o capoeira
Caiu no mundo a vagar
Ficou com o seu povo a cantar...
Laiá, iaiá, iaiá iaiá
Laiá, iaiá, iaiá iaiá
