Ilu-Ayê, Ilu-Ayê, Odara
Nego cantava na nação nagô
Ilu-Ayê, Ilu-Ayê, Odara
Negro cantava na nação nagô
Depois chorou lamento de senzala
Tão longe estava de sua Ilu-Ayê
Tempo passou ôô
E no terreirão da casa-grande
Negro diz tudo que pode dizer
É samba, é batuque, é reza
É dança, é ladainha
Nego joga capoeira e faz louvação à rainha
Hoje
Negro é terra, negro é vida
Na mutação do tempo
Desfilando na avenida
Negro é sensacional
É toda a festa do povo
É o dono do carnaval
